I have done multiple trips with GHG and I can’t say enough positive feedback to express how much I love doing any types of adventure with Tim. Every time I have a terrific time but also always feel like he takes safety seriously. I have many more trips scheduled and I am 100% looking forward every single one of them, doesn’t matter if it’s ice climbing, rock climbing or alpine. Always a good time!
