Testimonials

Just wanted to say that we really enjoyed our climb with Justin Day on 9/12/08. Justin was great. He was skilled, patient, very thorough, upbeat and encouraging�everything you�d expect in a guide. Plus he is a fun guy to be with on the mountain.

Bill

It's been couple weeks since I've had that wonderful experience participating in your training program. I just wanted to thank you once again for hospitality and professionalism, as well as patience teaching me valuable skills.

Vlad

I wanted to let you folks know (Justin, esp.) what a great experience I had on the rock. A unique learning experience combined with exhilaration, a bit (smile) of apprehension and awe! And added to all of that was the professionalism and expertise of my guide � and the great hospitality. My mind may be at work � but, my heart hasn't come home yet.

Peace,
Tom

If someone were to write a book about Tom, Bain, and Auggie, the time spent with Seneca Rocks Mountain Guides would be the climax in their coming-of-age chapter.

I wanted to thank you and Justin for a great time at Seneca Rocks. I honestly thought with my disability I would have a much more difficult time but was pleasantly surprised. The instruction was great and we both really enjoyed learning not only how to climb but the various types, the history, etc.

The time I spent at Seneca Rocks changed my life...I shall never forget the day we climbed to the summit and I shall never forget the the help and encouragement you gave to me.
