Joe enjoys connecting with clients early in the planning process to help them determine the best options for their climbing day(s). Climbing is a personal and multi-faceted experience that draws people in for different reasons. For example, some are looking for pure type 1 fun on beautiful iconic climbing objectives, some want to focus on learning / practicing technical skills (e.g., trad, multi-pitch, aid, self-rescue, crack). Some are looking to physically and mentally push out of their comfort zone, some are seeking particular mental benefits from climbing, some just want a good hang. Joe climbs for all of the above reasons and seeks to curate the experience that is sought. Check out Joe’s client reviews.

My guide Joe made my dreams come true with a successful tower climb. He was beyond patient, very knowledgeable and always encouraging. Also very helpful in climbing techniques and a great teacher. Joe’s expertise is what gave me the confidence to accomplish my goal!

Joe was a wonderful guide! He was very professional and kind. Everything was very safe, and he took time to answer questions and explain the safety systems if I asked. He tailored the trip to what I wanted, and I am grateful that I did the Moab Tower trip with Joe! Thank you!

Joe Lee was an excellent guide on a recent excursion my friends and I went on. We’re all experienced gym climbers who had never been to Moab or climbed outdoors. Joe was extremely knowledgeable and professional. The experience was a great chance for us to try a new type of climbing with proper and safe guidance while being taught tips and tricks to take with us on future trips. Joe even gave us local recommendations for anything from dinner to future climbing expeditions. We were all very pleased and would certainly use this service and Joe in the future. Thanks!

There is so much to do in Moab! With so many options, trip planing be a bit overwhelming. Joe can provide some recommendations based on first hand knowledge. In addition to climbing, he enjoys many Moab activities including: canyoneering; photography; hiking in Aches and Canyonlands National Parks; mountain biking; off roading; dirt biking; rafting; pack rafting; ice climbing; backcountry skiing, snowmobiling; horseback riding; and dining out.

I can recommend places to rock climb and other outdoor things to do in the area.
