  • 5Perfect day on the rocks

    Our experience with Arizona Climbing Guides was amazing. Our guide, Nate, was perfect. He was easy to talk to, friendly, and experienced. He picked routes that were challenging enough for my son and me, but not so difficult that we could not finish the routes. It was the perfect balance of challenge and fun. Throughout the day, he made sure we felt completely safe and confident on the rock. It was such a rewarding experience from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a better day. We’ll definitely be climbing with Nate and Arizona Climbing guides next time we’re in Arizona!

  • 5Great guiding service!

    Did 1/2 day of climbing in Prescott with Jayci. He is one of the best guides I have used since I started actively climbing 3 years ago. Friendly, competent and helpful. , and Would definitely use them again if in the area. Highly recommended!

  • 5Canyoneering in the tanque verde

    This is a short hike followed by some scrambling and at least 4 nice rappels down a beautiful gorge with pristine waterfalls. The guides are excellent. Highly recommend!

  • 5Fun canyoneering experience!

    My husband and I had a great time rappelling in Tanque Verde canyon with Dylan! It was our first time canyoneering and we loved it. Dylan was such a fun guide and made us feel very safe while dangling from the edge of the canyon. Plus a beautiful hike through the canyon with waterfalls and beautiful rocks. Definitely recommend this for a fun adventure day in Tucson!

    TJ was a fantastic guide! I’d never climbed outside before but he was super encouraging and helpful. Despite the nerves, everything felt super safe and I could tell he knew what he was doing. The views were incredible, would absolutely do again!
