Testimonials

We at JHMG enjoy our clients’ diversity and energy. Everyone on a climb has something to contribute, each bringing a unique blend of skills and backgrounds that enhance the experience of the entire group.

We look forward to welcoming back past clients for another adventure, and appreciate getting to know new faces each year.


The Mountain Guides are the best. It is not just the reputation of TMG as an elite group of experts in the field, it is the level of professionalism, their relating to clients in an individual manner, and safety. So glad we picked TMG as I’ve seen other climbing instructors and frankly they don’t have the same attention to details and professionalism as TMG. Our instructor, Randy Hohf, was very thorough and patient. It is great to have local instructors like Randy who is highly respected in the area for mountaineering, as is Tim Shaw for both mountaineering and alpine ski patrol.

Your staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. They made the climb challenging and enjoyable, while maintaining safety procedures.  I highly recommend climbing with your staff!

What an awesome experience. Days later, I still find myself thinking about the climb and what an incredible journey it was. The guides were friendly and knowledgable and not once did I feel unsafe or as if I wasn’t in good hands. It was a great two days of climbing, laughing, sharing and enjoying breathtaking views.

What an awesome day with our youth climbers. For many of the 5-12 year olds, it was their first time climbing outside. Amy and Lisa were great with them and everyone had a blast. Thanks for a solid day on the rock!

We signed up with JHMG two years ago for our first rock climbing ever. They were enthusiastic and responsive as we made telephone reservations and that was how we decided to go with them. We had a born teacher, himself a high-class climber, for that class and it was a BLAST to hang off that rock and look at the Tetons and landscape around us. That introduction has motivated us to keep climbing, and to come back to JHMG for more instruction and trips.

We absolutely made a great decision going with JHMG to climb the Grand.  Our guide Steve Quinlan was obviously an accomplished mountaineer and climber but humble, patient and entertaining as well…  Really enjoyed the camaraderie of the other guides, clients and accomplished visitors while we were in Corbet High Camp.  And the folks like Patrick were a real pleasure talking to when we checked in at the office. Thanks JHMG!

Tracy was incredible.  She listened and built a custom syllabus based on our experience as a couple and our objectives.   Cheryl and I couldn’t have imagined a better experience with fun climbing and technical skills combined.  We can’t wait to go out with Tracy again to advance our education after solidifying the skills she taught.  She was patient, positive, and had a great sense of humor.  Combined with her expertise, we couldn’t imagine a better learning environment.

Tracy Martin designed an awesome day of multi-pitch climbing in Red Rock Canyon. My objectives were to not only experience a multi-pitch climb in this terrain, but also refresh some skills learned in previous courses and guiding sessions. We climbed 3 mixed-gear routes ranging from 5.8 to 5.10a, with me leading the first pitch of the 10a. It was a great experience…I felt very safe the entire time, yet the type of rock and unique features posed the occasional challenge. It was a great confidence builder for my own climbing resume and experience/technical skill base. Furthermore, climbing with Tracy was like climbing with a best friend. She is friendly, has a great sense of humor, and is easy going. Yet, her climbing skills are top rate. I’ll definitely climb with her again.

Totally positive experience climbing the Grand Teton that exceeded my expectations. Guides Nate, Jed and Noah were professional, knowledgeable, with great senses of humor, and I felt totally safe and encouraged to push my limits of climbing to gain confidence and still have fun.  Also to meet Rob Hess and share conversation at high camp was very memorable. The trip was well organized and executed with care and precision. The equipment and accommodations were premier…very comfortable and well laid out. The food was good and satisfying. JHMG made this trip the best climbing experience of my life. Well done JHMG!

— Ed Erikson

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!
