Nadav Oakes

This climb was life-changing. It was a true mountaineering experience that offered everything: risk, reward, pain, suffering, conquering fears, and pushing personal limits. Nadav was the best guide I’ve ever had. He was honest, laid back and answered any question we could throw at him. His knowledge about the mountains and the Winds in particular was greatly appreciated. He was an excellent teacher and mentor in the backcountry, but he also showed real interest in getting to know each of us on a personal level. I feel like that is rare trait these days. Over the course of the 5 days, I felt less like a client and more like a friend. On summit day, Nadav was honest and upfront. I never felt like he was babysitting us, but rather truly guiding us. We discussed every section of the climb prior to making any major moves. He never stopped teaching the entire day. He knew just how far to push us while managing the risks and keeping us safe. I feel honored to call Nadav my friend.

This was a physically demanding effort, with rough terrain, long days, and some thrilling vertical rock in order to gain the summit.  I feel like I lucked out in having a guide such as Nadav.  His patience, competence, experience, and encouragement through some of the difficult sections were of major value in helping me to get to the top and to return safely.  All of my experiences with JHMG, from reservations, communications before the trip, through on the ground activity during the trip were positive.  The company and the guide rate a 10 in my view!
