Thanks again for the AWESOME trip! I had a wonderful time. The trip was even better than I expected.

Every time someone asks me how my trip was, I just can't say enough about how much fun I had. It was really one of the greatest experiences of my life, (yet... ;) ) and I completely attribute that to the guides.

I took a few weeks for me to sit down to write this, but I want to thank you all for a very good time that I had in Yosemite. It was my first time rock climbing. I liked it so much that I already got a membership in a local rock climbing gym and dream about new trips. By the way, our guides Albert and Logan were very professional, helpful, very nice as persons. Seems that Logan had a very good teacher...Albert also was a really skillful cook. If things go as I expect, I plan to come back next year with my twelve year old daughter. Thanks again.

We had two guides - Albert and Logan - they were very well qualified - anticipated everyone's needs and met everyone's expectations. Anyone that does this trip should be prepared to carry a minimum of 40pounds on their back, hike 5 miles that gains 2000ft in elevation through difficult terrain (snow). The physical effort to get the base camp at 9000 ft was well worth it. We camped in the snow without a camp fire but enjoyed gourmet meals. Each hiker was challenged in their own personal way and the two guides - Albert and Logan deserve all of the credit. The majority of the group climbed two 11000 ft peaks in the snow and learned an incredbile amount of things about winter survival.
