Amazing Experience and beautiful. - Chad Peele, my guide was amazing. Everything was explained before we did it and we took everything in stages. It was challenging at times but Chad's calm manor and style put me at ease. The hike itself is beautiful and you are save. On the show wall - it is intense but a great sense of acheivement when you finish. An amazing experience.

What a Thrill - Tom was an excellent guide. He provided the perfect blend of thrill and safety. The route is insanely exposed and also quite safe, as long as you pay attention and listen to your guide.

Challenging and Scary but Amazing! - So lucky to get the best possible guide, Tom ... not sure how I would have done it without him ... 1st ferrata and it was as much a psychological challenge as anything with heights and exposure. Tom is extremely experienced (probably overqualified) and most of all has a stellar demeanor ... calm, instructive, encouraging and reassuring. Whatever he's paid, it can't be enough. Thank you Mountain Trip and Tom for making my first ferrata experience a success.

Epic Experience! - Went with 3 coworkers during a work trip. Chris D was our guide. What an epic experience - I was on a high for days. When Chris wasn’t whistling or updating his snap (I kid, I kid!), he was super attentive and helped us every step of the way. Chris was always calm but also fun, took great pics and videos that we will be bragging about for a long time. Thanks again, Chris! -Lori

Great, safe trip on exposed cliffs - Three weeks ago Hannah and Taka were attentive, personable, and careful guiding us on Telluride’s exposed via ferrata. They made appropriate suggestions and monitored the group's safety and comfort. Easy for us to book trip online; thanks.
