Maxwell was an amazing instructor! He was very thourough when asking about our goals and what we wanted to learn and focus on, and spent all the time making sure we were satisfied with our experience. He was patient with our pace and answering all our questions. He was also very flexible with our time frame needs. Great attitude and a great experience!

I reached out to Utah Adventures Unlimited with some goals I have in the alpine but needed to learn some new skills and build up confidence first. From the introductory call to discuss my goals, to the end of the sessions, the instruction and guidance was top notch. Maxwell has a wealth of knowledge and experience that he continually shared throughout the sessions. I highly recommend reaching out to UAU for anything backcountry related!

I am so glad I went with UAU for my introduction to backcountry and touring. Maxwell is thorough, knowledgeable, friendly, and safe.
We had introductory calls, onboarding and prep sessions, tons of mountain time, and debrief sessions and all throughout I was graciously guided through a personalized approach to backcountry.
I’d return in a heartbeat. UAU is a resource I hope to turn to for years to come! Thanks Maxwell!
