Randy went out of his way to accommodate me for a climbing trip out at Milton Reimers Ranch Park on bet short notice. My flight was delayed and he again was very helpful. Once we got to the climbing site, it was apparent Randy really knows his stuff and shared a ton of cool tips, tricks and gear recommendations along with beta tips on the routes. There was another guide there that I was listening to him coach a young coupe and even I was concerned about his recommendations to them. He didn’t have several of the gear pieces that Randy had. 10/10 best guide in Austin!

FANTASTIC ADVENTURE! Randy is so skilled and has the best climbing stories. He is super knowledgeable and fun. I took a class out at Milton Reimers Ranch (beautiful) and had the best time! Randy taught me the language of "on-belay", as well as taught me the knot tying and even to belay him while he went up to set a rope. Such an incredible experience! It is definitely challenging, both mentally and physically. It was such an adventure and since it was just myself in the "class" he let me advance to the levels I was comfortable at. I doubt there is a better guide out there that knows how to have as much fun as Randy, while always keeping safety first.

Randy took our group of 6 to Reimer's Ranch over the past weekend and we had an absolute blast! Our group had a wide variety skill set (from newbies to seasoned climbers) and Randy was able to make sure we all came away with a lot of knowledge, skill and good times! From the ground work to the last climb, Randy gave clear instruction, valuable guidance and confidence!! Our newbie was able to reach new heights (pun intended) and our more seasoned climbers were able to be pushed to grades they hadn't been to before. Our group has nothing but great things to about Randy! He is so incredibly knowledgeable about this sport and teaches in such a clear and direct way that I would recommend him to anyone interested in the sport. He made a huge impression on our group that we all look forward to getting back on his guide schedule to continue to grow our knowledge and capabilities.

I booked a climbing day with Austin Ascents for a group of 8 at Enchanted Rock. Randy, the owner, and the guides Tom and Seth, were super accommodating and fun to work with. They are professionals and I always felt safe. Our group consisted of beginners and experienced climbers so the guides set enough routes for everyone to have fun. Randy and the guides asked us about our previous experience before hand and they created a plan for the day. No time was wasted planning on the spot. They were prepared for the group and our needs. Our expectations were meet. I would definitely contact Austin Ascents for a future climbing adventure or for a certification class like lead or trad climbing. Recommended 100%.

Just finished up a terrific Trad introduction course in Arkansas with Randy and Austin ascents, it was absolutely incredible! If you are looking to get into traditional climbing in any way, this class is a MUST, and you will be learning from someone who can not only teach you how to climb, but ensure you do it in a way that is applicable to all different scenarios you will encounter in the world of rock climbing. I couldn’t be more grateful to of learned all I can these past few days, and I recommend you sign up now if you are wanting to learn to lead Trad! You will be ascending in no time!
