Jesse cooked every meal, got the permits, and made it really easy to climb the scary cables. Jesse turned a challenging and strenuous journey into a stress free, romantic vacation. We got to swim multiple times, have a campfire, see bears, rattlesnakes, and marmots, and really enjoy ourselves without feeling rushed. And he's an amazing trail chef. Getting a permit in Yosemite can be so stressful and if you're flying in from somewhere he really takes the headache out of all the moving parts and necessary supplies it takes to make a successful backpacking trip! 10/10 I can't wait to go on another trip of his.
