Made our whole vacation! - This was the highlight of our trip to Tucson. My buddies and I came down here on vacation not realizing how hot it was going to be in September (oops). Trying to get out of the heat we were looking for things to do up in the mountains and found this company randomly. Beautiful up there and our guide knew all the best spots, taught us the ropes (no pun intended), and facilitated an amazing day for us. Don't be scared if you're not the most athletic, lord knows I'm not! But I had a great time and got up about 5 or 6 different beginner routes our guide choose. Came away with a bunch of cool photos too, definitely recommend it!

One of my favorite vacation activities of my life - Definitely a 5-star experience and one of my favorite vacation activities of my life. Dealing with the company was easy, and our guide was amazing. I visit family in Tucson a couple of times a year but had never been up into the mountains until this trip but I'm so glad I did. It's gorgeous, even when Tucson the city is hotttt. We had an 8 and 12 yo with us and they had a blast. I plan to book another trip next time i'm in town.

Awesome Adventure - We had an awesome time with our friendly guide Tim, and Ben the owner (?) of the company really cared about making sure we had the best day possible. On top of that he gave us restaurant and activity recs for the rest of our time in Tucson. If you're looking for something adventurous to do in Tucson, just stop here! Thanks again Ben and Tim!

mount Lemmon for beginner climbers. - Ben was a fabulous guide!!! My husband and I are new to climbing but all we had to do was tell him a bit about our prior experience and he found the perfect climbs for us! Started out pretty simple and worked our way up to challenging for us. Perfect! He was encouraging and safety conscious. A great deal of experience and knowledge of the area. Fantastic guide! We would climb with him again in a heartbeat!

Who knew this existed in Tucson? - I thought Tucson was a sleepy little desert town- I had no idea this kind of thing was an option! Pretty scary for a newbie like me but soooooo much fun. We climbed a cliff up in the sunshine above the city down below. Amazing views, a workout, and our guide was super nice, what else can you ask for?

Amazing! - I choose this activity on a whim and let me tell you we had an AMAZING time climbing with our guide Ben on Mount Lemmon. I had climbed at a gym a few times before but never outside and this was worth every penny. This was the highlight of my time in Tucson! Our guide Ben was very kind and professional. The climbs he picked out were suited perfectly to our skill level and we had a blast. I recommend this to anyone who loves the outdoors and wants to try something a little different. This was a first time for me but definitely won’t be my last!
