Rock-about provided an entire day of tremendous rock climbing adventure for my 11-year old daughter and myself. They're knowledgeable, patient, and extremely safe. And to top it all off, Reimer's Ranch provides an absolutely beautiful and comfortable setting for all the fun. Thanks, Adam!

Rock-About has an experienced, skilled, and patient staff for every skill level of climber. I brought a patrol of Boy Scouts to meet Adam Mitchell & staff of Rock-About at Reimer Ranch west of Austin. Rock-About recommended this location, and it worked very well for our Scouts. The outfitter was at the site early, set up and ready for us... More

Some people have more confidence than others when climbing, and I want to make sure to pay close attention to everyone. After all, safety is the name of the game.

Hard work, but well worth it. This was a great experience that we will remember for a long time. Adam was patient and knowledgeable (and had the most loyal dog ever). We especially loved having so much free time to climb or (not climb) at our own pace.

As one of the troop leaders on our recent trip for a rock climb, I can say that Adam Mitchell of Roc-About was very professional. All had fun with least amount of risk while scaling cliffs. Our troop has worked with Adam in the past and have already booked for another climb in January 2013.

GJCarter, Thanks for your review. I'm glad Troop 266 had an excellent time. I always enjoy taking the Scouts out climbing. Naturally I want everyone to have fun, but safety is the name of the game.

I just did the Rock-About beginners class with my sister and brother-in-law a couple of days ago. Adam, our guide, was fantastic - a patient teacher and a lot of fun to hang with for the day. The climbs were challenging for us beginners, but it felt great to reach the top. I would recommend this to anyone in the... More
