WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
“Everything about our Gannett Peak climb with MAG was first class, from the initial trip planning to our return to Crowheart. Our guide (Ty) put us at ease with his knowledge and safety consciousness, no small issue given the remoteness and ruggedness of the terrain, which included unusually heavy snow cover during our early July ascent. The food was fresh, varied, and well prepared – not at all like the freeze dried backpacking food we were expecting. Finally, the Cold Springs trail that MAG uses is both stunningly beautiful and uncrowded. We saw perhaps a dozen other climbers during our five day trip. All in all, it was a truly rewarding experience.”
