Excellent establishment! Clay, the owner and lead guide, knows how to run a business and take care of his customers / clients. Whether you're climbing (or whatever else) with Clay or with one of his other guides, I don't think you can go wrong. There were a few other places in town, but I don't think I would have felt as personally acknowledged and taken care of anywhere else.
Clay is a great guide, but also a people person and that translates both in his private and group guiding and in how he runs his business. You're not just getting technical guiding, your getting a personable, thoughtful, tailored experience. Ask any of his other return clients. I will be a return the client for sure.
Clay had a great plan for me given some information he asked for before we met in person, but then when I shared a little more information he included that in his assessment and rearranged our climbing plans for a different location. It was perfect. I'm not brand new but I'm still a beginner to climbing and wasn't looking to get my ass kicked. Just have a fun day climbing. His thoughtfulness about my desired experience and climbing skill etc we're clearly taken into consideration and I had the best climb day I could have imagined.
One of (many of) his funny mantras is "it's my job to wear you out!" (Said warmly and with a smile) But he adds, "as long as that's what you want." It was exactly what I needed. The right sensitivity to challenge me and at the same time monitor my stamina/exhaustion and "having-fun" level. Thanks Clay!
