We think Bob is about as perfect as a guide can be – he is the right mix of professional, knowledgeable, and fun. We often discuss the money we’d save if we just did a trip ourselves, but then we factor in everything we get with Bob – not only someone that really works hard physically for us, but someone that educates us, makes us laugh, shows us that we can indeed walk on nearly vertical slickrock and climb ten feet with no obvious places to put our hands or feet, and patch us up if we get hurt, just to name a few. Factoring in everything that Bob does for us, the trip really is quite a bargain. As Scott says, Bob doesn’t seem like a guide, he’s more like a friend that just happens to know the way.
