“Jarrod is an excellent guide that I would heartily recommend. From billing, to waivers to his sharing of post-trip pictures and video, it is clear Jarrod takes his business very seriously and is exceedingly professional about it.

He is very knowledgeable and helpful. Not just about the area of the Adirondacks that he was guiding me through. But about equipment and best practices. He seemed to know my equipment better than I did and was very helpful with setup and tear-down.”

“Fixed my snowshoe when it opened up. Had hand warmers readily available when my hands wouldn’t warm up. Jarrod brought hot tea for me at the summit and also an extra puffy coat for me to wear while we had a quick lunch. Now that’s full service!”

“Jarrod was a great teacher and motivator during our rock climbing trip. He guided my 4 year old daughter up the side of the cliff with great ease.  Every time she was stuck or unsure of herself he was right by her side to offer comforting words of motivation. Seeing the smile on her face when she reached the top was amazing.  She hasn’t stopped talking about her accomplishment since! In her words she is now an experienced climber and cant wait for her next adventure. Will definitely be booking another trip with Jarrod in the future.”

“It’s worth every penny to feel safe and to learn what I’m doing.”

“I’ve always wanted to rock climb, but had no clue where to start. Jarrod gave us several options that were perfect for our family. My 7 year old son has Spina Bifida and hiking and rock climbing never seemed like an option for our family. The care he took with him was amazing. He carried our son on his back through trails and even up one of the cliffs. Our trip would not have been possible without the expertise and motivation of Jarrod. Anyone looking to make their trip to the Adirondacks the best possible needs to contact Jarrod!”

“I never thought hiking or rock climbing would be something I would enjoy doing. One trip with Jarrod has changed everything. His knowledge and experience made this trip both educational and fun. Being a 300+lb man I was very nervous to be leaving the ground, but the constant motivation from Jarrod pushed me outside my comfort zone and to the top! I am already planning my next trip!“

“I have hiked with Jarrod five times. He communicates well. He is always prepared. He values feedback and safety. On this last hike, I only had one trekking pole. Jarrod let me use his pole for a river crossing (thus, I had two poles for greater stability). He always has spotted me when the trail gets hazardous. Jarrod knows the trails, nature, and the history of the mountains. Every hike with Jarrod has been wonderful.”

— Mike

“I've been with Jarrod on multiple hikes and he is very informative about the trail and the history of the mountain, he keeps safety and the safety of the client at the forefront of his mind, and he is very conversant. I’ll definitely hike with Jarrod again!”
