      Cliffhanger Guides Rock! Pun intended, but really they're awesome. I was able to book Seth for a PCGI instruction course to take an assessment at a later date. He was patient, thorough and very quick to adjust to my learning style. If you are ever in the area from October through March- this is the guide service you want to use!

      Cliffhanger guides were professional and fun from start to finish. Our group of 2 adults and 2 teens had a fantastic half day experience. We conquered a variety of different routes with competent and gentle guidance from our guide, Jessy. The vibe was relaxed, supportive and encouraging. Highly recommend for all ages and abilities. They will help you find success on the rock!

      Highly recommend Cliffhanger. Every step of the communication was easy and simple.
      We met Jesse at the office bright and early and he was ready for us. What a pleasure it was to climb with Jesse... my partner was a newbie and I am more experienced, Jesse was very flexible and adaptive with us and provided different feedback and support while climbing.
      We got fun stories, safe routes and good tips from him.
      We will climb with Cliffhanger again.

      My spouse and I had a wonderful half-day trip with Cliffhanger Guides. Due to the weather conditions, we had to change our travel plans last minute. Avery showed great flexibility and helped us reschedule. Tyler was a fantastic leader, and each step of our journey was meticulously planned and executed. We felt both safe and deeply immersed in nature's grandeur. Highly recommended.

      Climbing with Hailey was a highlight of our visit to Joshua Tree NP! We were climbing for the first time as a family with two children, 6 and 8. My youngest was very nervous and there was rain in the forecast, so the Cliffhanger team checked in often and gave us some options to set us up for the best experience possible.

      When it came time for my 6 year old to climb, Hailey was literally there with him every step of the way. He inched up the rocks, and felt so proud when he reached the top.

      We all felt very supported and set up for a successful morning of climbing, even though we were first timers. After lunch, we were given the option of exploring some caves, which the boys loved.

      Best day with a great company and awesome Climbing Guide. Jesse was friendly, professional and made us feel super safe and confident. We had an awesome adventure and Jesse made sure to provide us the challenge we were looking for. Really amazing and memorable half-day!

      I booked a half day of climbing for myself and had Greg as my guide. He was professional, friendly, and outgoing. Safety and educating me on climbing was a focus while just challenging and encouraging me! We were able to climb a handful of routes in my half day as well as end on a "high note" enjoying lunch up on the rocks. I'm already planning my next climbing trip and won't hesitate climbing with Cliffhanger and especially Greg again!

      Great day climbing with Andy. He was an experienced guide who really knew the route. He knew how to make the half day climbing experience really fun for my daughter and husband.

      It was such an awesome experience! Our guide Greg was super informative and also really fun to talk to. Our half day trip was totally worth it considering we got an extra hour (5 hours compared to other companies 4 hour half days) and we had lunch provided by the company. The lunch was also very good and refreshing. The climbs were tough but totally due-able for our skill level. And Greg always let us figure it out for ourselves but stepped in at the perfect time if we did need advice or help.

      Had an inspiring day at J Tree with a competent and friendly guide. Was taken on some classic routes and got more than I had expected from the day. Worth the $.
