Exum Mountain Guide Service

Having been on multiple guide-led trips around the world by multiple companies, my experience with the guides at JHMG for our Mt Moran climb was one of the best. Woody and Matt combined all the things I favor from a guide: safe practices, leadership, knowledge of the route and terrain, education and personal interaction. They both would laugh with us at the right time and get serious with us when we were in exposed situations. I know our group felt like we were in good hands all the way through.

Joel was professional on the phone and encouraging in person this helped set the tone for a wonderful experience 👏 My Guide Cody Pitz was so amazing. He was super patient, enthusiastic, and passionate about the job. His experience and risk assessment is very important for me being from Hawaii and very nervous about the process. I felt safe and in good hands..Also shout out to Matt for graciously letting me use his head lamp you guys all Rock !!Thank you everyone at JHM it was one of the best times of my life !!!

A perfect day with Tiffany in the Chamisa canyon Moab! We were 2 adults and 2 kids and loved every minute of the trip. the trail was exciting and has beautiful views and the repelling was awesome. Tiffany was so professional and gave us lots of information about the area. She was very cool and made us feel we are in good hands. I usually afraid of heights but today I wasn't thanks to Tiffany. If we come again to Moab we will definitely want to have another trip with her. THANK YOU SO MUCH 💓

Great experience of Grand Teton Climb via upper Exum route with private 4 days on Sept 10. I had a great climb with my guide Jake who made my climb and camping experience up and beyond. I happen to chose private JHMG vs Exum guide due to scheduling and was more expensive but I am very glad I chose JHMG vs Exum guide. JHMG excel vs Exum, and To start, we get nice cooked meals (non-dehydrated food) and brewed coffee in the morning. JHMG put extra guide for summit day to be 2-1 guide even for group for high chance of success as well as try more memorable but more technical upper Exum route. No wonder JHMG get 5 star rating from everyone.

My family and I climbed the Grant Teton in July 2023. My party was me and my wife, both 34, my brother, 22, and my mother, 57. My wife and I have a fair amount of outdoor climbing and hiking experience, but my mom and brother are relatively new to climbing mountains and outdoor climbing. We had two of the best guides in the business, Matt Shove and Keith Sidle. Both are extremely experienced mountain guides with a massive breadth of knowledge, as well as great personalities to keep the mood positive on tough terrain! The hike to high camp is certainly difficult. My mother trained quite extensively with weighted packs before this trip, and still felt that initial approach to be quite difficult. Ultimately, it's great to know ahead of time what a 7 mile hike with +4200 feet of elevation gain feels like! Their high camp was a great experience as well! It felt great camping ON THE MOUNTAIN. Stars are night are amazing, and even though we experienced some storms and really high winds, that just added to the experience! The summit day was certainly much more steep hiking and scrambling, with some technical bits of climbing mixed in, mostly towards the top. My group has been climbing for some time so the climbing portion wasn't difficult for us. The overall fitness level to get up there was the "crux" so to speak in our group, but everyone did really well! Overall, our experience climbing the Grand Teton with JHMG was amazing, and I can't thank our guides enough! Can't wait for lap 2! Thanks Matt & Keith!
