These guys and gals are the best. I run a youth mentoring program and we use ACS every year because we know that at the end of it, we're going to have an incredible, one-of-a-kind shared experience in the outdoors. The entire staff of ASC are talented outdoor professionals who understand what it takes to get anyone (ANYONE) to push... More

My husband booked a half-day of climbing at Otter Cliffs for our honeymoon on MDI. We met Eli at the office, where he was super welcoming, checked out our gear, and got us on the road promptly. My husband and I have some climbing experience, but mostly in a gym for him, and mostly 15 years ago for me! Eli... More

Eli was an amazing instructor. ACS' professionalism far exceeded my expectations. It is no wonder these guys are considered on the cutting edge of the industry. Everything about the course, the way it was taught and the confidence it instilled in me was worth it. There are a few choices out there on who to take the SPI course with,... More

Eli was very thorough and clear... More

What an amazing experience! This is a MUST do activity for anyone visiting Bar Harbor! The guide we had is an incredibly experienced climber and very knowledgeable about the area! My fiance and I will definitely be going climbing again!

I wanted to do something adventurous with my family (wife and 8 and 11 yr old boys) and this was perfect! Our guide was knowledgable and calm and brought us to a great, picturesque spot to do some climbing. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed this trip!

This is not just beginner stuff, you must be in decent shape. I consider myself in "ok" shape and fairly athletic. THIS WAS AWESOME. I was totally scared out of my mind, but GRANT was such an awesome coach and instructor, he made the whole experience that much more awesome. My husband and I went to Otter Cliffs and had... More
