Taylor guided a friend and myself. The experience was laid back and informative. We got everything we wanted out of our experience. I'll hire these guides the next time that I climb in the Gorge.

We had a great time! The half day was perfect for our trip.

Had a great time with my friends, with experience levels ranging from first timers to intermediate climbers. Ian made sure we felt safe and encouraged the whole time. An exciting and beautiful way to spend a day!

10/10, such an awesome experience! Would definitely recommend to any new climbers as well as those who are just getting outside for the first time. Our guide David took the time to not only teach and guide us but also share interesting personal stories and get to know us along the way. He ensured we were comfortable while also pushing us and allowing to see what all we could do. Great tips and motivation every step of the way. Great experience and will be using again until we are able to lead climb on our own!

Couldn't have asked for a better experience! Red River is a gorgeous place to climb and Andy was a great guide. Very encouraging/fun/knowledgeable. It was my first time doing outdoor climbing/lead falls and it was a super cool experience and definitely recommend!

Our Top Rope Course half day adventure was amazing! Alex was awesome at challenging everyone's ability/comfort levels in our group from 7 years old to adult. We highly recommend this activity for the whole family! It was my kids (7, 12 and 14 years old) favorite part of our trip!

Simon was an amazing guide today! Can’t wait for tomorrow

I've had a handful of guiding experiences (all around the country) and climbing with Ian this weekend was among the best. He gave great instruction, balanced of making sure I had a good time vs got to push myself and learn. I had a great day with Ian in the Red and would highly recommend signing up with RRCG if you're thinking of having a guide for a climbing day/weekend in KY.

Simon was great and we had a lot of fun!

Highly recommend. Our guide Simon made us feel right at home and we had a great time.

Matt,
Thank you so very much for an amazing time in the Red. My family and I cannot thank you enough for your expertise, patience, and love for this sport. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skill with us and allowing us to experience something that you love. Your patience and fun with our 6 year old allowed her the confidence to over come her fear by the end of the day and get on the rock with some excitement and independence. You pushed Logan and Lia to new heights and gave us all the confidence push ourselves beyond comfort. We can't wait to climb again!

If you are ever wanting to experience some outdoor climbing in a very relaxed and humble way Matt and Red River Climbing is for sure who you should use. We will only use Red River Climbing! Thank you again for the wonderful memories!

Ben was our guide, and he was extremely informative. He is an amazing climber and helped us feel very accomplished on our first time climbing outside of a gym! He was great at answering all of our questions! We had a great time and will definitely be back!

Update! We came back for the gym to crag class. It was an awesome experience! We focused on cleaning the route. It was a great day of climbing with an awesome guide!

Our guide for top rope climbing was Simon and he was excellent! He was a great teacher and motivator. He was always very calm and reasuring and I loved how he was able push us out of our comfort zone to accomplish climbs that we never thought we could do. We will be requesting him again when we return! The only reason I gave a 4 rating , instead of a 5 was that I was unable to contact the company via phone or email prior to our trip. Once Simon texted me the day before our climb, the communications were great.

Had a great day climbing with Matt and Leor. Will definitely be back 🙂

Great experience with Matt! He was fantastic with my 12 year old who had limited outdoor experience. Stoked to climb again with RRCG!!

Great vibe from both guides! We were able to switch the class last minute to better enjoy our time and not suffer through a higher skill class. Simon and Tom were great at walking us through the beginning steps of outdoor climbing as it was my first time. However they also catered to more experienced climbers! Would definitely come back and would recommend to others!

Climbed in May 2024, with guide Becca. She was absolutely great and was able to keep a mixed-experience group fully engaged and challenged throughout the day. Highly recommended.

This was our first time climbing outdoors and we had a blast! David was an awesome guide and had answers to all of our questions, he was especially good at making sure we had hands on experience before moving to the actual wall. I felt safe the whole time and learned much much more than I was expecting to, thanks for the great experience!

Our guides (Simon, Becca, and Chuck) were knowledgeable, kind, and supportive of our entire group! Grateful for the experience they gave the students and the support and encouragement they gave along the way. Our students left feeling accomplished (and tired, which is a win)!

We’re primarily gym climbers and did a half day Gym to Crag class with Ian. He was a fantastic and laid back instructor who taught us a lot and answered a ton of questions. The approach was pretty easy, the routes were a good match for our outdoor comfort level and the gear focus of the class. We got great tips on how to improve. I would totally go back and would recommend them to anyone. The only thing I wish had been different is that I should have booked a full day. We had a great time!

I’ve climbed in the Red River Gorge twice now, and both times Simon was my guide. I honestly can’t say enough good things about him. I’m a total beginner and wasn’t even sure I’d get off the ground—but Simon made me feel completely at ease. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, but also so patient, encouraging, and super fun. I ended up climbing things I never thought I could. When I got stuck, he didn’t just tell me what to do—he helped me figure it out, which made the whole experience even more empowering. You can tell he truly loves what he does, and he’s great at helping other people love it too. If you want a guide with real expertise and an awesome vibe, go with Simon. He's AMAZING! I’m already planning trip #3!
