Climbing outfitters/guides?

Post by caddishunter »

Do any of you know of reputable outfitters/guides for a couple of rookies (5.10 in the gym for what it's worth) planning their first ever outdoor climbing trip to the RRG in mid-late March? I would appreciate any insights.

i second this. Matt & Amy are both wonderful teachers - for your first trip outside you couldn't do better. you can call them @ 859-230-3567 and they have one of their guides handing all their phone calls/reservations until they get back at the end of jan. i'm sure eric can answer any preliminary questions you may have as well.

RRO all the way.

pfffft..going with matt and amy will only allow you to learn perfect safety, perfect belay technique, perfect anchor set up, and perfect crag etiquette.

you interested in a total debacle? call the pigsteak/anticlimber hotline. we'll cuss at you, blow smoke in yer face, allow you to lead on an old static line we tow the rusty truck with, and promise you'll get your fix AND never want to climb outside again. we aim to serve.
Positive vibes brah...positive vibes.

He's just crusty and bitter. Matt and Ames are the greatest!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, if you're going to trust your life to a climbing guide, go with Red River Outdoors. They are the most trustworthy people I know.
