She moves Mountains

Good morning, wanted to see if any of you guys have taken a trip with She Moves Mountains? Looking at the Canada Climbing trip and wanted to see what you guys have to say about that group.

I have a friend who works for them and has nothing but good things to say about the company!

Did a Squamish trip with them last summer and it was amazing! Would definitely recommend. Just be aware that depending on what trip you take you may be responsible for transportation to and from the airport and the crag every day. But they gave us a spreadsheet to put our names and info down to help coordinate rides which was helpful. 

I've done Joshua Tree, Smith Rock, and EPC. I loved them! EPC was a bit chaotic because the group was really big but the guides are fantastic. I'm going on the Squamish trip this summer! When I first went to J Tree nearly 3 years ago, I didn't have much experience climbing outside and was in the beginners group so it was chill and easy.

For Smith, the trip was capped at 10 people so we all climbed together but the guides put up routes ranging from 5.7 to 5.10 with the option for 4 climbers to go in a separate group to do really hard stuff the last day.

In EPC, I had quite a lot of outdoor experience but somehow ended up in the beginners group again which was frustrating the first couple of days but my guide went ahead and set some 5.10s for me which I really appreciated. I think next time I'd be more assertive about being asked to be put in the intermediate group.

I did a trip with them in 2023. I can just praise the company. 

I did a Joshua tree retreat with them in 2022. They were amazing! Highly recommend 

I did the Smith Rock retreat in October. It was fantastic! Much more fun than I expected. 

I'm 66 years old and expected to be the only old lady in the group, but there was a wide range of ages and I definitely was not alone. We were paired according to skill level and interests. The guides were so attentive and empathetic, and extremely good at figuring out what each of us could do. They picked out climbs that were not necessarily what we would have been brave enough to try ourselves, but assured us that we could do it and indeed we could. I am so happy I got to experience Voyage of the Cowdog, which I never in a million years would have thought about trying.

We stayed in their "lodge" which is actually a very nice new house, a few minutes drive from Smith. They made us breakfast and lunch every day, and took us out to dinner both nights. It was so relaxing after an active day. Dare I say, luxurious.

The other participants were all lovely, the guides were professional, highly skilled, and very friendly. 

A great organization! Absolutely recommended!

I went to Italy with them in 2023 and it was one of my favorite experiences of my life. I do think their trips are overpriced though FWIW.
