Annie was great!
Our group of four hired Annie to guide us up Lion’s head. Annie was knowledgeable, kind, flexible, encouraging and attentive. Without asking, she wisely brought along another guide, in case there were varying skill levels in our group (there were). This way, we were able to spilt up between those who wanted to use the steeper ladder/chain way and those who wanted to take the path with less incline. Everyone got the experience they wanted and was able to go at their own pace, while being challenged and having fun. She empowered the less experienced hikers by standing behind us and occasionally guiding our feet placement on the way down. She had just the right amount of involvement - hanging back when necessary and jumping in with suggestions when helpful. She went above and beyond and brought a bottle of (non alcoholic) bubbly for us to enjoy at the summit! Would highly recommend her and should we go back, would definitely use her again!
