Equinox Guiding Service

Maybe this is why I’ve always been drawn to climbing.

It takes us away from the crowds and into places we might otherwise never experience.

Quiet cliffs. Mountains. Islands. The ocean below us. Places where the phone gets put away and, for a little while, the rest of the world feels pretty far off.

After more than 20 years of climbing, I still seek out that feeling.

And getting to share it with others is one of the things I love most about this work.

Come find us out there.

Take me to the mountains.

It’s hard to believe we’re already this far into August.

This summer has taken us all over Maine—climbing above the ocean, into the mountains, around the islands, and back home to the cliffs here in Camden.

Different places. Different people. Different adventures.

But what I love most hasn’t really changed. Getting outside, sharing these places with people, and watching someone discover what climbing can mean to them.

After all these years, I still feel incredibly fortunate that this is what I get to do for a living.

Summer isn’t over yet. If you’ve been thinking about climbing with us in Camden or Acadia, our remaining August dates are getting pretty limited.

See you on the cliffs.

Where did July go?

One minute we were kicking off summer camps, and the next we were looking back at a month full of incredible days on the cliffs.

July brought first-time climbers, returning friends, families making memories together, beautiful days in Camden and Acadia, and more smiles than I could count.

Looking through these photos reminds me that while every climb is different, the best part is always the people we get to share these places with.

Thank you to everyone who spent part of your summer with us. Whether it was your first time climbing or your fiftieth, we’re grateful you chose to spend the day with Equinox.

Here’s to making the most of August.

See you on the cliffs.

Some of the best parts of guiding aren’t the climbs themselves. They’re the people you meet, the conversations you have, and the places you get to share.

Here’s a little glimpse into another week at Equinox.

Some weeks remind me why I became a climbing guide.

Not because of the summits or the grades.

Because of the conversations on the trail. Watching someone rappel for the first time. Seeing kids discover they’re capable of more than they imagined. Looking out over the ocean with people experiencing Maine from a perspective they’ll never forget.

I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately.

This summer has reminded me that Equinox has never just been about climbing. It’s about helping people connect with wild places, challenge themselves, and create memories they’ll carry long after the ropes are packed away.

As we get closer to celebrating ten years of Equinox, I find myself feeling incredibly grateful—for everyone who’s trusted us, supported us, and become part of this community.

Thanks for letting us share these places with you.

See you on the cliffs.

Last week was one of those weeks that reminds me why I love this job.

We watched a whale surface below Otter Cliffs while we were climbing. Saw a moose wandering through the Maine woods. Guided on two different islands. Climbed sea cliffs above the Atlantic Ocean. Then wrapped up the week back on the granite in Camden.

No two days are ever the same.

People often ask what my favorite place to guide is, but the truth is it’s hard to choose. One day we’re looking out over Penobscot Bay, the next we’re watching waves crash below us in Acadia, and sometimes nature throws in a whale or a moose just to remind us how wild this place really is.

I feel incredibly lucky to call Maine home and even luckier that I get to share it with so many amazing people.

Here’s to another week of climbing and seeing what surprises are waiting around the next corner.

There are few places like Otter Cliffs.

Watching the waves roll in below while climbing some of the most beautiful sea cliffs on the East Coast never gets old. Every trip out here reminds me how lucky we are to call Maine home and to share places like this with others.

A big thank you to the crew from Movement Gyms for making the trip to Acadia. We had an incredible day on the cliffs and are already looking forward to climbing together again.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s feels like to climb above the Atlantic Ocean, this is just a small glimpse.

Another weekend in the books.

Every weekend is a little different. Different people, different goals, different weather, but the same incredible places that we get to share with others.

One of my favorite parts of guiding is watching someone realize they’re capable of more than they thought. Sometimes that’s climbing something they never imagined they could. Sometimes it’s just spending a day outside with family, laughing and making memories together.

I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who trusts Equinox to be part of those experiences. Thank you for climbing with us and for supporting a small local business that loves what we do.

Here’s a little glimpse into this past weekend. Looking forward to seeing what the rest of the summer brings.
