"Marty was a great guide and instructor! Great communicator via email, and with a wealth of knowledge to share. We had to pivot our original plans due to the weather, but he was extremely accommodating and made our trip to the Gunks very worth it! Definitely would recommend!"

"Simon was an excellent guide for our outdoor climbing experience at Sky Top Mohonk Mountain House, New Paltz. 1 guide and 3 of us was the perfect ratio. He was able to pick climbs that suited our different levels. The photo below was from last climb of day. Note, if you are only a gym climber this is a very different and very humbling experience, and one that we all loved."

"First multi-pitch in the books. Special thanks to my guide Jon Crefeld from Alpine Endeavors for putting us on the most amazing routes, and getting some great shots. Jon was super patient, instilled confidence, and prioritized safety above all. If you want to explore the trad climbing in the Gunks, Jon is your guy."

"Decided to check alpine endeavors for 4 day private lessons in July and it’s was a life changing experience. Marty and Simon were my guides (Marty for day 1 and Simon 2,3and 4). Both were amazing guides, they were very understanding and gave me a very thorough, detailed introduction to outdoor rock climbing, safety and risk measures. Simon, who I spent most of the days with, was a fantastic guide, a very easy going dude to talk to. He introduced me to single pitch and multi pitch climbing, rappelling, how to build anchors for both multi pitch and top rope situations and many more crucial skills. Definitely looking forward to taking more private lessons with AE and Simon as a guide. Highly recommend Alpine Endeavors!"

"As a female climber, I specifically asked for a female guide and the person arranging the climb at Alpine Endeavors was absolutely understanding and accommodating. Rita was professional and supportive yet gave me concrete feedback to improve my technique in real time. She listened to the types of climbs I enjoy (cracks and chimneys) yo plan our day from start to finish. The tempo of the climbs was great. The collection hit the sweet spot of “not too hard but not too easy”. She was patient when I struggled and gave me the space to problem solve a particular move. Would recommend to anyone whether they be individuals, families or a small group of friends. Really pleasant and professional. Made for a great stress free day."
