Mt. Lemmon Half Day Rock Climbing or Canyoneering in Arizona

I went on two half-day adventures with Arizona Climbing Guides. On the first day, we went rock climbing, and on the second day, we went repelling. I have never tried either but always wanted to do so. Javen was my guide on both days. He reached out prior to the appointments to go over details and meeting place. He is highly experienced and a very good teacher. He explained everything in detail and was always safety conscious. He provided a helmet and climbing shoes for me to use. With Javen’s coaching and encouragement, I was able to climb to the top of a rock face and repel down multiple drops. Both days were at Windy Point on Mt Lemmon. He was very accommodating and wanted me to do what I wanted and enjoy doing it. By learning about rock climbing first, it was helpful when climbing back up after repelling. I’m 62 and found some of the climbs back to the top challenging, but Javen took it slow and never minded me taking a break. He was always there, ready to offer a hand when needed. Javen was the perfect guide! He even knew about the plant life and took photos!

C'était génial ! TJ, mon guide, était vraiment sympa, aidant et encourageant ! Ca compte beaucoup quand on a pas l'habitude du vide !! Le lieu était vraiment magnifique et les émotions garanties ! C'était génial ! Je recommande !

I was lucky to get JC as my guide today. To say he was amazing, doesn’t even begin to give him the accolades he deserves. He was patient and encouraging with me. This was my first time climbing and rappelling and he made me feel confident and safe. If you are deciding if you should do this tour or not- you will not be disappointed! Pick it. Take the chance because you are in great hands with a ton of experience with JC.
