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.
I went to Red Rocks with the Chicks Climbing group and it was an excellent experience all around. I would highly recommend it and would do it again without hesitation.
I was very impressed with the set up at high camp and how “well greased” the whole trip logistics were. I was delighted to learn that I had to carry very little to high camp – tent, sleeping bag, pad, harness, helmet, protection were all there. And the climb up to high camp was much easier than expected, largely because of the methodical pace set by my guide. Finally, when we arrived, I felt like I’d walked into a palace. It was great to have hot water, drinks, appetizers, etc. all set out for me. The tent was spacious and incredibly comfortable. If you could only have controlled the weather then the trip would have been perfect. As luck would have it, the first storm of the fall/winter came in and but a dagger in the heart of my plans to bag the summit. But we got out and gave it a good try anyway, and I had a fun, memorable trip despite not achieving the ultimate goal.

I used JHMG for a 4 day Grand Teton climb and summit back in 2008. I had such a wonderful experience, that when my son decided he wanted to climb the Grand with me in 2015, there was only one Guide service I would even consider: Jackson Hole Mountain Guides. We made a successful summit of the Grand and those 4 days on the mountain are without question, the best Father-Son experience of our lives. We will never forget that amazing experience for the rest of our lives. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I thought all three of our guides, Nate, Paul and Jacob were extremely professional, very patient and took the time to get to know us. They were informative on the actual climb and expectations. I enjoyed the experience and would feel comfortable recommending and choosing JHMG again. I also wanted to give a shout-out to Mark and Patrick in the office who helped to coordinate everything on the front-end for me. They did an awesome job!!

I really enjoy my time with JHMG. Everyone is very jovial and accepting. I am not the most experienced person in alpine climbing but they made me feel very successful. I didn’t want to slow my group down but the guides made sure I was ok and having a good time! It was a lot of hard work for me and they made sure to celebrate my success. I appreciate that Doug double checked our gear before we hiked up to camp and his “bullet point” instructions to make sure we knew what the game plan always was. I like following a plan. Great vacation. Thank you!

I loved having the one-on-one with my Guide Erica [Engle]. She was attentive, safety conscious, yet challenged me. We did several different routes so it didn’t get boring. Talked about climbing in general, different places, etc. We had a great day; she encouraged me and made me feel like I was an accomplished climber for the amount of time I have been climbing!

I just climbed the Grand Teton with three amazing guides from JHMG. Nate, Paul and Jacob have years of experience mountaineering, and their professionalism and ability is second to none. I would climb with any of them again, without hesitation.

I have climbed with JHMG on three occasions, in the Tetons and in Red Rock. I have NEVER been disappointed. The guides are safe, knowledgeable, encouraging and professional. I would not hesitate to recommend JHMG’s services to anyone and I plan on more climbs with them in the future.

I have climbed with JHMG multiple times over the last 18 years in the Tetons. The experience has always been excellent. What I have found consistently over the years is a group of guides who are accomplished climbers, excellent teachers of what they do, and very enjoyable to be around in a personal sense. I’m sure there are other guide services that are good as well, but the JHMG staff as a whole seem to really enjoy what they do and genuinely want to share their climbing and outdoor passion with the mortals. If someone desires to have these qualities in a guide service, JHMG is the one for you.

I had a really great trip on the Grand with Nate Opp, who was able to make the climb feel challenging, yet obtainable, the entire time. The entire experience, from the trip up, to the stay at Corbett High Camp, to the climb itself, was first rate. I can’t wait to come back and climb in the Tetons with JHMG again!
