“I can’t speak highly enough on my experience with BSBG. The mountaineering course was exemplary. This was a 5-star experience from every aspect of the course. Our guides were professional, patient, reverent in the mountains, and fun. I enjoyed the time around the yurt chatting just as much as the technical aspect. Just great people and incredibly knowledgeable.

They worked with every skill level in our group with individualized attention and were open to any and every question. This was the best mountain course I have ever taken. My wife has returned three times and we are already planning on booking these guides for trip next year. Incredible!”
