点评:We had the best experience with Cliffhanger! Before booking I’d sent them an email with some questions, and they were quick to respond and super helpful. Every correspondence I had with them was fast and friendly. Our guide Jessy was also fantastic! We had such a fun day with him, and felt very safe with the top-rope systems he set up. We have indoor climbing experience but had only climbed outside once. Jessy took us to a much less populated part of the park, which meant that we essentially had it to ourselves (at least in the morning). This was greatly appreciated as I was not looking forward to flubbing my way through climbing with an audience of thousands of other park visitors ;). It was also really cool to explore a different area of the park than what we’d previously seen when visiting the main sites on a prior day (and the approach was a fun 10 minute scramble through a boulder field). Jessy assessed our abilities and picked some perfect routes for us that were challenging but not impossible. He encouraged us and helped with the route beta, but also challenged us to think for ourselves and not get into our own heads too much. By the end of the day, it felt like we were hanging out with a friend rather than a guide we’d met that morning. I loved that for our last route we got to climb with Jessy (with him leading) rather than having him on the ground belaying like we’d done the rest of the day. This culminated with him setting up a rappel from the top of a sheer cliff face, which was a first for us. It was a little nerve-wracking but so much fun! It was a perfect end to an awesome day. I also want to point out that the lunch Cliffhanger provided was a fantastic surprise. I was expecting soggy sandwiches but instead, out came several thermoses filled with cheese, grilled tofu (I’m vegetarian), both pickled and raw veggies, hummus, crackers, dried mango, biscuits, and seltzer water. It was definitely the best lunch I’ve had on a tour. Lastly, I appreciated that Cliffhanger had all equipment available to rent at no extra cost. Not having to bring our harnesses, shoes, etc. was a huge space-saver in our suitcases!
翻译:我们在 Cliffhanger 的体验非常棒!预订之前,我给他们发了一封电子邮件询问了一些问题,他们很快就回复了,非常乐于助人。我和他们的每一次通信都很迅速、友好。我们的导游 Jessy 也很棒!我们和他一起度过了非常愉快的一天,他设置的顶绳系统让我们感到非常安全。我们有室内攀岩经验,但只在室外攀岩过一次。Jessy 带我们去了公园里人少得多的地方,这意味着我们基本上可以独享这里(至少在早上)。我非常感激这一点,因为我不希望和成千上万的其他公园游客一起笨手笨脚地攀爬 ;)。探索公园里不同于我们前一天参观主要景点时看到的区域也真的很酷(而且进入公园的方法是穿过巨石场,有趣的 10 分钟攀爬)。Jessy 评估了我们的能力,为我们挑选了一些完美的路线,这些路线具有挑战性,但并非不可能。他鼓励我们,帮助我们测试路线,同时也挑战我们独立思考,不要太过自以为是。一天结束时,我们感觉自己是在和朋友一起玩,而不是和早上遇到的向导一起玩。我喜欢最后一条路线,我们和 Jessy 一起攀登(由他领队),而不是像我们当天其他时间所做的那样让他在地上保护。最后,他从一处陡峭的悬崖顶部设置了一个绳降,这对我们来说是第一次。这有点令人紧张,但非常有趣!这是美好的一天的完美结局。我还想指出,Cliffhanger 提供的午餐是一个绝佳的惊喜。我原本以为会是湿漉漉的三明治,但结果却是几个装满奶酪、烤豆腐(我是素食主义者)、腌制和生蔬菜、鹰嘴豆泥、饼干、芒果干、饼干和苏打水的保温瓶。这绝对是我在旅行中吃过的最好的午餐。最后,我很感激 Cliffhanger 提供所有设备供租用,无需额外付费。我们不用带安全带、鞋子等,这大大节省了行李箱空间!
