Incredible Experience With A Great Guide ! - I don't normally write reviews, but my experience climbing with Mark was so great that I thought I should share my thoughts. A little background... My wife are experienced climbers from the Southeastern U.S., and we've been climbing for roughly ten years. Naturally we were reluctant to hire a guide service. But given that we had exactly ZERO experience climbing out West, we decided to hire a guide...and I am so glad that we did!!! It was worth every penny !!! Mark Grundon was our guide for 2 days, and my wife and I both had an amazing time !!! Mark was great ! He is so nice and helpful. He also made us both feel safe the entire time. His knowledge and expertise are impressive. He even helped us stay safe after our 2 days with him were over. In fact, after we climbed with him, he made himself available to answer all our questions about the climbing, safety, approaches, and gear for all the routes we were thinking about climbing on our own. Essentially he helped us plan our climbing objectives for the remainder of our trip. And that saved us a ton of time and a bunch of headaches. Mark was also a great teacher. I learned a ton from him (in a short amount of time) about moving around safely in the mountains. We will definitely be going back to climb out West next year, and I am going to book some days with Mark a year in advance.
