“Trevor from Pinnacle Mountain Guides taught me how to trad climb over the course of two days. In that two days I learned how to place gear, build trad anchors, multi-pitch techniques as well as general safety principles. Trevor was professional and an excellent teacher. The lessons I learned over those two days was enough for me to set out on my own without being a liability to partners. In less then a year of hiring Pinnacle Mountain Guides I have done trad multi-pitch routes in Colorado, Wyoming, California, Utah, Washington, and British Columbia. If you are considering getting exposed to outdoor climbing whether trad or sport Trevor is a subject matter expert and I couldn’t recommend Pinnacle Mountain Guides enough. While you could struggle your way to learn on your own, by hiring this guiding service you will save yourself from learning through failure and could prevent serious injury or death“
