Our group had the best day rock climbing! So fun, thrilling, and beautiful. Great guide and easy to communicate with :)
Four of us, ages 9,14, 15 and 48, went rock climbing together this week for a half-day in the morning with Herb! We had limited experience, and all enjoyed ourselves immensely, his ability to share his craft and passion with us and his knowledge of the area we’re appreciated, the guidance was exceptional, they efficiently determined what our comfort and ability levels were, and found enjoyable routes for all of us while providing a safe yet adventurous environment for us to learn and practice rock climbing! I highly recommend, I will return, and the members of our group are already asking when we get to do it again!
We signed up our 16 year old for a half day rock climbing excursion. The whole family met up with Jake at Desert Highlights and we followed him in our car to the "Ice Cream Parlor" climbing area. Jake provided a menu of choices and she was able to do four climbs, ranging from a 5.5 to a 5.9, in about three hours. This was the first time she climbed outside of a rock climbing gym and it was an amazing experience. They went through all the requirements for climbing and Jake showed her how to tie knots and ensure for safety. Jake was friendly, knowledgeable and he provided just the right amount of guidance. We would definitely be back if we are in the Moab area!
