Tim is such an amazing guide and a genuine human being. I have nothing but great things to say about our three day trip to the Alpine which included some Multi-Pitch climbing and reaching the summit of Mount Cline, my first eleven thousand-er. The entire experience was challenging in all the ways I wanted it to be and rewarding ten fold. I have done several smaller trips and courses with Tim and will continue to do so in the future because of his kindness and professionalism. A special shout out to his wife Liz for handling logistics and preparing our excellent meals for the trip. 10/10.
