When we first went to Atlantic Climbing school, my family and I were very nervous because we had never been climbing before. We met with Eli and he explained to us the basics of rock climbing. The staff clearly knew what they were doing and had the knowledge to help us climb safely in the best places that the park... More

I came to Main afraid of highs and was convinced to go rock climbing by the rest of my family. The scenery at otter cliffs was beautiful! I couldn't imagine a better way to experience the unique Mine landscape than this type of up close and personal adventure. I admit I was scared at first, hands shaking a bit, but... More

I was sitting in my hotel room in Portland planning out my day. I ended up giving these guys a call first thing in the morning to set up an appointment. The gentleman who answered the phone. Eli, was very helpful and informative. He answered all my questions and we set up a climb for the next morning. This was... More

I recently returned from a trip with a group of middle school students and volunteers for a weekend of exploring Acadia National Park--and these guys wow-ed us! The ACS staff is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, brave and enthusiastic. I have not stopped hearing what a wonderful experience all of our participants had and it was because of ACS' positive energy and... More

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

ACS and Eli gave me a day i would never forget. Very professional and a lot of fun. There was never a time where I did not feel safe. I learned alot of valuable information not just about climbing but also about the Acardia park and its animals. I would definitely go to ACS again the next time I go... More
