“I had a great time climbing with Peregrine Expeditions in an introduction to Lead Climbing course. Joseph is very knowledgeable, and safety conscious. He guided me through two days of instruction and significant personal growth. I was able to do more working with Joseph than I thought I would be able to accomplish. He encouraged and pushed me to new heights in my climbing skills. I’d recommend climbing with Peregrine Expeditions to climbers of any skill level.”
