Had an awesome time climbing at Garden of the Gods on Saturday. Because of a soaking rainstorm the night before, we had to push our time back so the rock would be dry. Dan contacted us, gave us our various options and was great to find a solution that worked for us. We doubled with our friends, all of us first-timers, but Dan acted like it was nothing and had complete confidence in us. I wasn't surprised that our husbands made it to the top of each climb, but I was surprised that I did! We couldn't have done it without Dan. He was fun and made everything look easy, but you could tell he really knew what he was doing, had great equipment, and could talk us through any tough spots. The views from the top of the climbs were incredible, I felt like it was the perfect way to really enjoy Garden of the Gods. I came home feeling like I'd conquered a big fear and wanting to take my kids because it was such a great experience. I need to save up, but hopefully next year we can take them and we will absolutely request Dan as I know he will help them feel at ease and do their best, just like he did with us! I was glad we brought water and food like he suggested and shoes to wear between climbs since the rock climbing shoes aren't very comfortable for hiking around in. Glad I brought a camera as the views were phenomenal, but wish we would have thought to charge our GoPro in time to get footage of the views from the top. Just can't say enough good things about our experience. Thanks Dan & Front Range!
