★★★★★
I appreciated that this was as much a guided tour as a class. Mick and Joel explained their decision making throughout the day. After assessing the avalanche risk, they put together a potential plan and then changed it as needed based on the conditions that day.

Archer and Kevin were extremely helpful in teaching the proper mountain skills as well as helping us set goals for the weekend outside of just summiting the mountain, which I found really enjoyable making that personal connection and then sharing with the group.

★★★★★
Everyone was professional, friendly, and totally committed to helping me achieve my climbing goals. I cannot say enough about Kaf, and encourage others to try them instead of one of the larger but less personal mountain guiding services in the area.

★★★★★
I had an amazing experience and had zero issues being on a rope team (my first time) and David was encouraging the whole way. I recommend anyone use Kaf for guiding needs. The entire staff is super helpful, SO NICE, and very accommodating.
