We operate in varied conditions, often climbing in the rain can be just as fun as climbing when its dry (sometimes even moreso). If conditions are deemed unsafe by your guides, we will work to reschedule within your window, or refund.
Gratuities are appreciated for excellent days and are at your discretion.
We balance challenge with clear systems and coaching. Leaders seeking added outcomes can request facilitation around trust, communication, and healthy risk taking.
Objectives adjust to conditions, ability, and safety. Guides make conservative decisions to keep the day positive and educational.
