    Kyle was great! He comforted guests who were nervous and led us through every step of the way! The climb itself was so much fun, we scheduled for 8pm so we could catch the sunset and see the city lights at night. It was so beautiful and although I reside here it’s always nice to see my city from a different perspective!!

    I did the city climb on October 13 when it was a really windy and rainy day. I was nervous doing the climb, and my guide Vanessa was so nice and helpful. She was incredibly good at her job, and she coached me through feeling safe and secure. I told her I didn’t want to do the lean at the top, and she was supportive and didn’t push me to do it. I am happy that she was my instructor and encouraged me the entire way through. In fact, the entire staff was very nice! I highly recommend this place and coming to The Edge and doing The City Climb.

    Amazing experience. Such breathtaking views of the city. Ray, our instructor, was a superstar. Super patient, sweet, funny. He guided us throughout the whole experience and made sure we were being taken care of while having fun and creating unforgettable memories. All the staff was super friendly and made sure we all understood everything that we were doing. Thank you to Vanessa as well who strapped me real good as I asked her too, lol. Worth every single penny. I felt super safe from beginning to end so highly recommended. ❤️
