    I enjoyed my experience with them they taught me more than I could have ever imagined in a safe and creative learning environment. I would recommend their guides to all. Whether it's your first time or 100 they will provide an experience that caters to your needs.

    I took a group of 6 others for a Rock Climbing bachelor party with FAMS and it was a blast! None of us had any rock climbing experience, some of us were of...slightly...larger builds but all of us made it to the top of a sufficiently challenging Garden of the Gods summit. They came prepared with all sizes for all the gear we needed and even helped us to get a parking spot in a crowded lot. The team was a blast to chat with, they were extremely talented, and gave clear instructions so that we could all make it up safely.

    One of our bachelors actually got delayed and ended up getting into Denver that morning and they were willing to wait 3 hours past our initial start time to make sure everyone got to participate in the awesomeness that is Colorado's Garden of the Gods. I can't wait to come back and do some more climbing!

    My 18-year-old daughter and I were complete novices, but John came prepared with all of the equipment and water, and his enthusiasm for the sport was infectious. He was incredibly encouraging and patient as we made our way up a wall in Cheyenne Canyon even going above and beyond to talk both of us "off the ledge" at different points in the excursion. I wouldn't describe it as "fun", but I am so glad we attempted and persevered with this empowering experience. We can do hard things, and I think especially for my daughter this will resonate for many, many years to come. I wish we lived closer to make this a habit, but next time we're near The Springs we will definitely call John for another adventure!

    This was our family's first time climbing experience. John was amazing pushed our comfort zone and all made it to the top. John's is an experienced climber and made us all feel safe the entire time. We will definitely be back.

    My daughter, Chaeli, and I had a wonderful time climbing at the Garden of the Gods. Sam was an excellent instructor and had a lot of patience with us as first time climbers. He was excellent at encouraging her when a little fear crept in. I would highly recommend Sam if it is your first time climbing.
