Such a great outfit. Noah and Eli are top notch guides and run a professional group. I booked them for a day in Acadia and had an absolute blast. Eli was great to climb with and super knowledgeable. From multipitch trad to top-roping at the seawall, we were able to pack a ton of climbing into a day. Regardless of your skill level - whether you've never climbed before or are seasoned climber in need of a partner with local knowledge to maximize your time on the rock - Equinox is your go-to. I give Equinox my strongest recommendation and can't wait to climb with them again. read more

Me and my wife had an amazing experience climbing in Acadia with our guide Conner. We had only climbed in gyms before and really wanted to try outdoor climbing. Conner couldn't have been better at guiding us on that experience. We started by climbing a couple of 5.4s and moved to Otter Cliffs where we climbed a few more in the 5.7-5.8 range. Having been climbing indoors for about 4 years, nothing was too difficult for us. It was definitely different and had to adjust some, but we had an experience we won't forget climbing on the side of cliff overlooking the ocean. We highly recommend using Equinox. read more

I climbed with Equinox Guiding Service 10 times in the summer of 2025 (May-Sept) with Noah, Elias and Griffin. Everyone was great. I started doing 5.6 single pitches and finished yesterday (September 17) getting my first 5.9 (twice!). There were days we only did multi-pitches and others when we worked on technique. I also started learning how to place gear. Noah was extremely flexible when my work schedule changed or the weather wasn't appropriate for climbing. On one occasion in August, I brought along my partner who was a first time rock climber. Equinox was able to construct a day that was fun and challenging for both of us. Thank you Equinox for a great summer of climbing. I look forward to our next adventure. read more

Climbing at Otter Cliffs was the highlight of our trip to Acadia and we couldn't have done it without Noah and Austen from Equinox. They were super helpful in planning our trip and flexible when we had to reschedule due to weather. Austen was an expert guide and made us feel super safe and relaxed - we typically do more climbing inside than outdoors. And Otter Cliffs is simply stunning - a gorgeous place to spend the day. read more

Noah is the goat. We had a 7 man squad of various levels and he was incredibly flexible. He met everyone at their level and we were able to ask tons of questions. He instructed us in a comfortable and competent way. Excellent through and through. read more

Couldn't have asked for a better introduction to ice climbing. Noah curated the trip to our group's experience level (none), resulting in a low-stress, high-stoke, and safe day of adventure. read more

Climbing all day with Noah was a day I'll never forget for the rest of my life. Noah is an excellent guide and person, who is extremely knowledgeable about climbing and safety. He let me choose the kind of day I wanted to have climbing, and the mix we chose had great climbs and views. Noah was a great conversationalist and we had many great talks throughout the day. I would recommend Noah to everyone who was looking to climb in or near Acadia National Park. read more

Noah was fantastic, really enjoyed the climbing, learned a lot as we went, and most importantly felt extremely safe thanks to his expertise and attention to detail on the climb. Would recommend this to anyone who wants to try climbing for the first time, or has moderate experience and just wants to take advantage of the guides' experience, expertise, and/or equipment for a climb in Camden (or Acadia). Thanks so much to Noah and the team! read more

Noah was a fantastic guide! We loved our experience. He did a great job actually teaching us how to climb, allowing us to belay each other and even teaching us how to tie some knots. The views were fantastic from the top of the cliff and the scenery was stunning. This was our favorite climbing experience by far. This is a must do for anyone planning on visiting Maine. read more

As someone who's more accustomed to navigating a NYC subway map than figuring out hand placement on the side of a cliff, I would HIGHLY recommend Equinox Guiding Service to anyone who is looking for an outdoor rock climbing experience. I did the half day climb at Camden with Noah, who was extremely knowledgeable, professional and explained everything in full detail. Under his guidance, I was able to do 8 pitches total for the day when I didn't even think I could complete one! The whole experience was super fun and Noah even managed to take some great photos for me to put on my social media later on! I would totally do it again and hope to go back! read more

We spent the day with Noah and Equinox Guiding yesterday and had such a great experience. We had very little ice climbing experience going into yesterday and we left with thorough understanding of technique, safety operations, the Camden Hills area and huge smiles in our faces. It was wonderful to be coached and guided by a professional that makes safety a priority, while still keeping the day easy, comfortable and fun. Can't wait to do it again! I would highly recommend this experience to anyone with beginner to advanced ice and rock climbing skill. read more

Noah was an amazing guide and this day climbing with him was a truly unforgettable day of my family trip. I was very nervous beforehand because I am not an experienced climber, don't have much upper body strength, and I was going with my brother who is a good climber, so I feared I was in over my head. I needn't have worried because Noah seamlessly made the day perfect for both our levels, making sure I was safe and supported while giving my brother more detailed knowledge and challenges. I managed to climb a 5.6 without much trouble with Noah's excellent guidance. It was thrilling to emerge over the top of those cliffs and look over lake Megunticook and the forest. I went home empowered and excited to know that my body can get up a surface like that. Rappelling down the mountainside was super fun too. Such an amazing way to get outside and experience nature off the beaten path. I definitely want to climb again, and hope to have a guide as good as Noah again! read more

Fantastic rock climbing experience with Noah as the guide. Received the recommendation from Maine Sport and was able to book a half day trip on short notice for rock climbing a couple miles outside Camden. Noah was very patient and an easy going, but very knowledgeable instructor that put my 17 year daughter at ease while encouraging her to climb a couple pitches that she didn't think she could. Highly recommend him and Equinox. read more

This was my 13 year old daughter first outdoor climbing experience who is a competitive indoor climber. Noah was calm, patient, and has years of experience guiding climbers. He clearly explained the equipment cam anchors, belaying, rappelling, and she loved it. He quickly develops trust from the climber and parents, and inspires the climber to excel. The next time we are in Camden ME we will be climbing with Noah again ! read more

Amazing experience. I signed up for a full day of climbing in Acadia with Noah, the owner of Equinox Guide Service, to take me and my wife. It was an amazing day. We met Noah at 8am and first got all gear and equipment and went to our first site at the south bubble. It was a multipitch climb overlooking Jordan pond. There were easy routes for me and more difficult routes for my wife. Noah did a great job explaining steps, gear, and safety procedures. After that climb we went to otter cliffs for the afternoon. It was incredible. We were able to try so many fun climbs. I am a little bit of a nervous climber and Noah did a fantastic job helping me through some tough spots with great instructions, uplifting support and great line handling (I prefer a tight belay line). My wife is a better climber but had only ever been a gym climber and Noah made her feel comfortable and pushed. It was a great day. I HIGHLY recommended working with Noah and Equinox Guide Service. Whether youre an experienced, new or hesitant climber like me, you will have a great experience. read more

I climbed with Noah today in Camden on a half day trip and had a great time. He is the perfect guide: super friendly, experienced, calm, attentive, intuitive and challenging.
