Worked with many mountain guides all the world and Forrest from Peak Experience was one of the very best. He made climbing Mount Aspiring safe, rewarding, enjoyable yet challenging. Always the right hints and nudges on what and how to do, always perfect technique when short roping, belaying or abseiling. Mount Aspiring is a breathtakingly beautiful mountain and Peak Experience is the right choice to go with!Posted on Google Michael DobbieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic trip to Mount Aspiring. Dave and Forrest were great guides, professional, relaxed and patient. The weather window we had was small and the guys timed our activities to perfection. Physically hard trip, and a few days recovery in Wanaka was very welcome.Posted on Google Nicholas JacksonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had an amazing trip up Mt Aspiring with Peak Experience. Dave and Forest did a fantastic job as guides. It’s the most spectacular mountain I’ve been fortunate enough to climb and definitely a trip I won’t forget.
