I was referred to Stone Adventures by a fellow guide service in the JT area after they were all booked up. The initial planning and correspondence with Annie and Aron in reserving the trip was seamless. I did a half-day family climbing trip with my 12 and 15 year old. We had some gym experience but nothing in the outdoors and this could not have a better outing.
We met our guide Tamas, and a short drive later to an off-the-beaten-path part of the park, where it was just us and a perfect climbing wall to cut our teeth on. After some instruction on knots, harnesses and safety, we each took turns on 3 different routes. Tamas was a wealth of experience and knowledge. His encouragement and climbing techniques helped immensely as we navigated the wall. I was especially appreciative of his first responder skills in helping to recover my iPhone after I dropped it into the black abyss between some boulders. After topping out on the routes, we finished off the day by moving to another nearby location and climbing one last route.
I highly recommend an experience with these guys as it is personal, professional and a great way to introduce the sport to a bunch of novices like us.
