Learn MoreShe selected perfect climbing tours for all 4 days and I enjoyed every single pitch climbing with her.
First day we touched the cracks which was the reason for me getting to Moab in the first place. It's tough as expected when doing it for the first time and even more for me used to climbing limestone only.
The other three days we were climbing mostly multi-pitch routes at my climbing level.
When it comes to safety and handling climbing equipment Carly has very high standards.
It was unforgettable experience for me and I'm happy I picked up Mountain Trip agency. Thank you Carly for the unforgettable memories and views!
This trip is truly worth it for anyone seeking a thrilling outdoor experience paired with spectacular scenery. If you're in Telluride, don’t miss out on this! Thank you, Ashley, for an unforgettable day!
Booking with Mountain Trip was easy and the staff was very responsive to questions and requests.
Thanks, Cat!
I was part of the May 22nd expedition team with 3 top guides Karl, Maddie and Dylan. Nice trio, I loved them! If you see them, give them all a high five and a big hug from me! They really made my trip. Incredible what a dedication and logistics are involved in such an expedition. It was fun, we had nice weather, they cooked very well, they took care of us... Safety was their top priority, which I deeply appreciated. After a fatal accident, I was somewhat panicked, but they were able to put me at ease. And I learned a lot from these toppers. In many ways.
I come back with more confidence, even more respect and love for the mountains, more appreciation for the little things in life and I place even greater value on certain friendships/relationships... On a mountain like that, you have to learn to let go and trust. You can't control everything. (Nice lesson.) It is often balancing between pushing boundaries and looking for safety and satisfaction. Finding a balance between the gas pedal and the brake. I have grown during this expedition. Physically, mentally and emotionally. That can only happen on a long winter expedition without contact with the home front and in uncomfortable conditions. Summit or no summit, that makes little difference to me. It's the route, the growth, the learning, the discovery, the satisfaction that counts. I loved it! Thank you for this amazing adventure! And be sure to pop in sometime when I'm in Telluride!
So THANK YOU for everything, the goal to return home safe and sound has been achieved, and the cherry of reaching summit makes it even more special.
I’m one happy human right now 🙂 what a journey!
