Went on an intro to ice climbing trip over the weekend and loved it. I was extremely impressed with both of our guides and the facility. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced. While all three members in our group were novices, they worked with us to ensure that it was a great experience. More

Exodus booked us into a Safari Lodge on the first day and my partner contracted awful Food Poisoning after our first meal in Tanzania. She had to go into hospital for treatment but as a result she...

Some great values in the downstairs consignment room for serious outdoors folks. This place is an icon for the climbing, hiking and winter mountaineering crowd. Mr. Wilcox is a very helpful owner and a great source for advice. More

The staff at ICMS was professional and cheerful. Brad really rose to the challenge, finding a guide for us on short notice who could introduce a young child to the rocks. We did the "half-day for families" which was more than enough for my little guy at age 5 and a half. We had been to a climbing gym a... More

We were staying an hour away, so I called to see about climbing possibilities on short notice. Brad hooked my 7 year old daughter and I up with Mark Hitchcock, who took us to White Horse for a half day of climbing. It was my first time up the rock in a while, and my daughter's first time ever, after... More

My wife and I did a half day intro to rock climbing. The staff was friendly, and really showed a spirit of the outdoors. Our guide Chris had a great sense of humor, and got us started in a way that made us feel like we were born to climb while maintaining all the necessary safety precautions. He went above... More

My daughter and I had a private climbing lesson with Sam at International Mountain Climbing School. In the morning he gave us a very thorough, hands-on introduction to rock climbing with emphasis on safety. In the afternoon we went top-roping up White Horse cliff and made it two-thirds the way up and then rappelled down. Sam took great care that... More

My son and I took their 3 day "Learn to climb rock" course. By day two we were hooked. We had to invest in our own rock climbing gear so that we could go climbing on our own! We learned so much about climbing and climbing safety we felt confident going out on our own. Later in the year, during... More
