We at JHMG enjoy our clients’ diversity and energy. Everyone on a climb has something to contribute, each bringing a unique blend of skills and backgrounds that enhance the experience of the entire group.
We look forward to welcoming back past clients for another adventure, and appreciate getting to know new faces each year.
My two sons had an awesome experience learning more about climbing, the associated terms and interacting with their guide Nate. They had great stories to tell about the day, and are looking forward to summiting the Grand Teton one day.
My group participated in the 2 day summit of the Grand Teton. The trip was sort of a splurge for us, but worth every penny. It was hugely important to have a knowledgable guide to manage equipment and undertake route finding. Our guide was friendly and extremely professional; he kept our group on track and provided a safe and fulfilling experience for everyone.
My father and I returned to the Tetons, a special place for both of us, to summit Mt. Moran for his 60th birthday and 40 years after he had been rescued off the peak (August 1975) after an unexpected, heavy snow storm had trapped his party for 2 days on the mountain. This time we had good weather for most of the climb and a wonderful time. Our guide, Phil Jones, made this experience one for the books, giving us the technical support we needed to summit and return safely. His sense of humor (especially about my dad bringing the pack and boots he wore on the mountain 40 years prior), great cooking and calm demeanor made him an indispensable asset to us — not to mention his climbing and route finding skills. It was a fun trip and an epic return to the mountain for my dad. Thanks, JHMG and Phil for making this trip possible!

My experience with JHMG was great. I would recommend this outfit to anybody I know who is interested in climbing the Grand. I contacted the office multiple times throughout my research process and I was received with great attitudes and useful information every time I called. One of the main reasons my fiancé and I chose JHMG was because of the 4 day trip. We came from Kentucky, and having the ability to stay at High Camp for three nights was a huge distinguisher compared to other guiding outfits in the area. It was also very convenient because it gave us time to train and acclimate at 11000 feet. Lisa and Cat were great guides who took time to cater the training to what we needed on the mountain. We felt comfortable performing the necessary maneuvers to safely and effectively climb. The atmosphere at high camp was great… I felt safe and well prepared the entire time I was under Lisa and Cat’s watch. All in all, I would recommend JHMG to any friend or family member who was heading to the Jackson area. Great experience, great guides, tons of fun, wonderful memories!

My experience climbing with Tracy at Red Rocks was amazing. She is safe, knowledgeable, and really fun to be with. I would highly recommend a climbing trip to sunny Red Rocks with JHMG. If you’re lucky, you’ll get to climb with Tracy!

My buddy and I were looking to go tall in Red Rock and Josh put us on a great route. We climbed Dark Shadows, a 1,200 foot climb. Not only was the route a lot of fun, Josh was great! Technically, he was a great climber. Safety was his number one concern, constantly checking and re-checking systems at each belay station. He also provided us with some great tips on communication on multi-pitch routes, effectively building anchors and rappelling for us to use on future climbing trips. I have climbed with JHMG many times and will continue to use them!

I wouldn’t consider going into the high Teton range without JHMG!

Matt and Keith were outstanding. I really appreciate their expertise and capabilities. It is obvious that they know what they are doing in the wilderness.

Kenny was the best outdoor adventure guide we’ve ever had. He explained everything thoroughly and stressed safety throughout. He’s courteous, sincere, and flexible. An overall tremendous experience.
Keith, Steve, and Aimee were three incredible guides. They were all patient and inspiring the entire trip. Although we didn’t get to summit the Grand, it was still one of the best experiences of my life.
