Joey was a perfect rock climbing guide for my wife and I climbing RMNP single pitches. We were experienced gym climbers but new to outdoors. Would love to do a multi-pitch with him some day!

We booked a full-day outdoor climbing adventure in Jurassic Park. Our guide Will was very attentive and knowledgeable, always keeping our safety in mind and cheering us on during climbs. He also provided tips on what to bring the day before, and picked up a sandwich of our choice for lunch. Though not necessary, I recommend having good beginner-level climbing skills and knowing how to belay to get the most out of your day. We did a total of 7 climbs during our time! Overall, an amazing experience and we would book again anytime!
