My wife got me this guided climbing trip for my birthday and we had an absolute blast!!! Max was extremely professional, fun and flexible to our different levels of climbing experience. I’d never climbed outside of a gym before and it was everything I’d hoped for and more.

Spunky Adventures is fantastic. We took our Girl Scout troop out with Max this weekend; each girl challenged herself and had a great time. Max prioritizes safety while also instilling independence through clear communication and instruction. He seemed to derive sincere joy from spending a beautiful day out with us. I highly recommend Spunky Adventures and would take a group out with them again.
