Willard Mountain Guides LLC

"John was my guide for a 5 day rock climbing trip at Red Rock National Conservation Area in Nevada. He was detailed and genuinely curious about understanding my climbing goals, and did an incredible amount of research to plan each day to suit the challenges I was looking for and the skills I wanted to learn. He is a total expert and brings a lot of joy, good vibes, and passion to climbing and his work in particular. I had a lot of fun, became a better rock climber, and ended the trip feeling inspired. I look forward to hiring him to guide again."

"My experience with Willard Mountain Guides was incredible. This was my first ice climb, and our guide John made sure I felt comfortable and safe every step of the way. He was extremely knowledgeable, and took the time to make sure I understood all the information he shared. The climbing spot was beautiful and appropriate for my skill level. I learned more than I expected, and was able to challenge myself. John was very encouraging and an all around fun guy to be around. I look forward to more experiences with Willard Mountain Guides and would absolutely recommend them for anyone looking to learn and have fun while climbing!"

"John was an invaluable resource for all aspects of our experience in the White Mountains this past weekend. From start to finish, he was a constant source of knowledge and motivation. During our ascent of Mt. Washington, John freely offered technical advice and words of encouragement while leading my friend and I, and supplied essential mountaineering equipment as part of a very modest package deal. The next day, we went ice climbing at a picturesque location, and made the nervousness I had as a first time climber quickly dissipate as he showed me the ropes of the sport. On top of all that, he is a genuine dude with altruism as a core feature in the plans of his growing business (even beyond donating 5% of what we paid to a charity of our selection). Overall a fantastic experience, and I hope to return next winter for more adventures with John!"

"I had an amazing experience ice climbing with John. I have been climbing for a few years and was not just looking for an exciting day, but technique instruction. John was an excellent teacher and really helped clean up my ice climbing skill set. If you are brand new and looking for someone to show you the ropes or an experienced climber looking to push your limits I highly recommend Willard Mountain Guides."
