I am a relatively experienced rock climber with ice climbing on the bucket list. My wife got me a day of one-​on-​one introduction to ice climbing and a full day of climbing. Dan was my guide and we spent the day in the Skylight area just up the hill from the ice park. Unquestionably this was the most professional and perfect introduction to the sport. We did a ton of climbing, worked efficiently on my technique, and exposed me to single pitch water/​ice, multi pitch, and even some mixed climbing! Dan has a staggering amount of experience and clearly explains every bit of the equipment, techniques, and skills used in ice and mixed climbing. Dan is an all around badass with a wealth of knowledge and experience. Ouray is definitely the ice climbing capital of the country and Peak was a perfect company to indoctrinate those with whatever level of climbing experience. AMAZING!

In December I took my Avy 1 certification through Peak Mountain Guides, Matt was our instructor. The course couldn’t have been better. The material covered was done in a very articulated, thorough manor. We learned a lot of information to make more calculated decisions, and had a blast the entire weekend.
This outfit is top notch all around. I will more than likely take my level 2 next winter, and if I do, it will be with Peak. Furthermore, the team of guides Matt has wrangled up are all high caliber professionals, a few of them which I know and have been out climbing/​skiing with personally. A+ team all around — if you’re in Ouray, choose Peak.

I bought my wife an introductory ice climbing class for Christmas. She’s not the most comfortable on mountains OR ice, so she was pretty nervous about this class. Adam (the guide) was not only knowledgeable and friendly and knew how to explain so a true novice could understand, he also made my wife feel very safe the whole time.
I might have to get another class for myself next year!

Woo Peak! Great job! My friends and I also did a half day of ice climbing with Zach, who was amazing! It was the first time ice climbing for everyone in the group, and Zach was able to teach us a lot of the basics and had us all climbing up a frozen waterfall by the end of our day!
Matt the coordinator was responsive to our emails and was easy to work with in order to help set things up. The peak is super centrally located in downtown Ouray so it was easy to find. The weekend we came out the ice park was closed, so we went to an area called the skylight which was beautiful! Everyone has a great time, and Zach def made us feel comfortable and joked around with us a lot as well as taught us how to ice climb! (Duh)
I agree with the other reviewers that next time we will try and go a full day in order to get more climbs in! Thanks peak! Solid work.

My girlfriend and I did a half day of rock climbing with Matt for my birthday. My girlfriend and are at different levels of ability and knowledge so Matt was able to customize our experiences to help us both grow into better and safer climbers. He was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and kind. The only thing I’d do differntly is I’d do the full day next time. Thanks Peak! You made the weekend unforgettable!

Went for a half day of ice climbing with Adam and he was great. Took care of everything was very knowledgeable and helped us not only with the basics but also proper technique as well. I set everything up with Matt via email and phone and he was very helpful, quick and responsive, and even threw in a few perks. Overall, my wife and I had a great time with this unique experience!

I recently did a full day private guided ice climbing course with Danika and absolutely loved it! I had never been ice climbing before and my friend who came with had never even been rock climbing before and Danika was able to teach us effective ice climbing techniques so that we were getting up the walls in no time!
Learned a ton about setting up and actually climbing and had a blast doing it! Would definitely recommend Peak to anyone looking to explore ice climbing for the first time.
