Wonderful experience as always! Tim was a knowledgeable and encouraging guide; he took the time to understand our skill level, push us a little, and make it fun. I would definitely book them again!

We booked a full day of climbing and got every bit of it in. Dan our guide was amazing, he really read our skill level and progressed us through a good number of routes along with showing us a bunch of other fundamentals which we appreciated. Beautiful day amazing experience. Definitely will sleep good tonight.

New River Mountain Guides and Craig went above and beyond my expectations. It was personal, professional and tailored to our skill level. Craig is one of those rare people in life that loves what he does and loves sharing it with everyone. Craig really took the time to work with my daughter and made her feel like a valued team member. It was nothing short of amazing and wonderful life experience. I look forward to coming back and doing more climbs.

Craig was a fantastic guide! He was friendly, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and safety oriented. We appreciated how he asked us what we wanted to get out of our trip and planned out our destination and routes accordingly. On the wall, he was an encouraging coach and cheerleader, and even stayed a little later (past our scheduled end time) so we could get an extra climb in. 10/10 would go again. Thanks for a fun time at the crag, Craig!

New River Mountain Guides Teen Rock Climbing Camp was amazing! My 13 year old daughter had a great time. She learned a lot and made some great new friends. It was well organized, and communication from New River Mountain Guides was great. We really appreciate all the time and preparation that went into a wonderful week for our daughter. The highlight of her summer!

We had a blast with Tim and Craig and can't wait to come back for another trip with them! They led us through an awesome day and picked great spots to help us explore the NRG area. They navigated the various experience levels of our group so well and were there to provide guidance and instruction when we needed it, or give us space when we didn't. We had such a great time and highly recommend New River Mountain Guides!!Thanks for showing us the ropes!

Dan was very knowledgeable and I felt comfortable and confident climbing with him. I'm no expert but I've been climbing for a year and Dan guided me on climbs that were in my skill level and had a good mix of challenge and fun.

Our guide, Tim, was great. He showed up on time with a plan tailored to our skill level. There was a bit of rain and he was able to work in some ground school. Fortunately, the sky cleared up and he showed us several awesome routes. He was very knowledgeable about the area and climbing. He encouraged good safety practices and we felt very comfortable throughout. We had a blast and would definitely do this again!

Wow a great experience. Craig and Jennifer made the trip an unforgettable time. We laughed and set records. The rock climbing opened my eyes to a new world of adventure. Please take some time to check out this team. I will be coming back.

I was just on a trip to WV. We did rock climbing and repelling with these guides. Hands down an amazing experience. I actually complemented the owner with her attention to neatness, order and amazing staff. I pushed to learn more about how she hired such great guides. Everyone that worked there I would over pay to work for me. Fantastic people, safe environment, neat and organized systems in place. Hands down a great investment in an adventure.

I can't recommend this guide service enough. Professional, knowledgeable, and personable. Able to tailor the experience to the level of their clients, and the guides clearly know the area well. Safety is definitely their number one priority. My guide, Nina, had done her rock guiding course and was AMGA certified level 1, and she clearly knew her stuff (we did a quick review of self-rescue techniques during our all-day session). 5 stars for sure!

I absolutely felt Nina was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about sharing it. She gave my son a private instructional lesson and it exceeded expectations. I highly recommend this young lady!!!

Tim was an awesome guide. We had a great half day of climbing. He was calm, competent and encouraging. He was also a really nice guy and warm and friendly. He knows his stuff and challenged us just enough to make it really fun. Definitely recommend.

Tim did a great job leading my wife and I for a great day of climbing. He picked a crag well suited to our skill level and talked us through some of the trickier moves. Tim was certainly knowledgeable and all around just a great guide and a pleasant person to spend the day with. We would climb with him in the future for sure. I should also mention that NRMG did a good job of making sure I had the necessary info for our trip well in advance but also sent it again like the day before our trip which I appreciate because it’s a pain sometimes looking up older emails.

We had a fabulous experience with Jen as our climbing guide. She taught me how to confidently belay and encouraged me in my first outdoor climb. She is GREAT with kids and really led our 8 and 11-year-old, who had experience climbing in the gym but not outdoors. I was concerned that we wouldn't have enough time to each get in significant climbing time but she used our time wisely and we got several climbs on a regular face and one each on a chimney. Jen was really fun to be around, super knowledgeable and all about safety. I highly recommend climbing with her!
