We spent a full day rock climbing with Jake and it was the highlight of our trip! He was an awesome guide, teaching us how to safely use the gear and helping us improve our rock climbing technique. We went to two different climbing locations so that we could be in the sun all day (it was chilly in the shade!), so we got to do a variety of climbs and see two totally different parts of Moab. Thanks, Jake for an awesome day!

Me and my 13 year old son had a wonderful experience rock climbing for 2 full days with Desert Highlights. Working with Kai to make our reservation was very easy. Kai was friendly, answered our questions and followed up with us as promised. After reading other reviews, we requested Jake for our guide and thankfully he was available both days. Jake was amazing. Me and my son are both beginner outdoor climbers with intermediate climbing skills from time spent at the climbing gym. Jake was very personable, professional and patient with us. Safety was always first and fun was a close second. Jake quickly assessed our climbing abilities and put us on challenging climbs that were not above what we could do. He was constantly assessing our energy level and asking about our climbing terrain preference. He is an excellent teacher making suggestions to improve our technique and helping us be better climbers. He is extremely knowledgeable about the Moab area as well. Since we’re interested in learning how to climb outdoors on our own, Jake provided lots of advice on how to get to that level safely. It’s obvious that Jake loves climbing, guiding, teaching and being outdoors. I would not hesitate to climb with Jake again and we look forward to doing more challenging crack climbs with him in the future. Thanks Jake, Kai and Desert Highlights for a great two days of rock climbing.

Great climbing session. Solo traveled and it was one of the few places that didn’t overcharge for lone travelers. Initially I thought I wouldn’t mind going with a group, but actually really happy they don’t combine groups. It was just Herb and I, which was great. Climbed whatever routes I wanted and learned a lot in the process.
