I had a great time climbing out at Enchanted Rock this past weekend. The Rock-About crew was fantastic! We had 13 kids in our group ages 8-16 which seems like a daunting task. Adam was super nice and extremely patient with all of them, it was awesome to watch. Bird was a character, and made everyone feel at ease. I... More

We had a great time climbing with the Rock-About guides. Our group of 20 ranged in ages from 7 years old to 45 years old. Everyone had fun; weather was great! We plan to do it again next year.

A great first class, with a quick session on basics and safety. Then a short hike through beautiful terrain to the wall. Scotty, Olivia and Birddog were professional, fun, friendly, knowledgable and helpful. Plenty of lines to climb and some are easy and some challenging depending on your fitness. Reimers ranch is a gem. I will go back and can't... More

My 10 yo son a I had a great adventure with Rock-About! Neither of us had climbed before. Clear instructions, lots of help and support, great group of people, lots of fun and sun - can't beat that! I've never seen my kid smile so much on one day! We will be back soon!

Adam was amazing he was so helpful and fun. I am so glad I went rock climbing with him. Great communication leading up to the event and it continued during the event. I would recommend rock about to anyone who was interested in trying rock climbing. This was my first time ever climbing and I will be doing this again.

I've been on two Rock-About 101 courses; one at Reimer's Ranch and one at Enchanted Rock. The most recent time I went with my dad and though there was a lot of people all of the instructors - Tyler, Scotty, and Birddog - were able to accommodate and help everyone with extra techniques and tips. The way they teach the... More

Terrific vacation experience for the whole family. Adam went above and beyond to get us all on the rock and climbing safely. Our 12 and 10 year old children loved the entire experience; and it was a highlight of our visit to Austin for mom and dad as well. If you are not a climber, Adam will make you one.

All instructors are highly knowledgeable, friendly and well-concerned for your safety. This was a fun-factor-five adventure that I would recommend for physically fit people ages 10 to 60 (and older if you're in shape). I recommend it for families, couples, friends, business groups or even going solo. Kudos to Birddog for his instruction and Carlito for his techniques.
