Hi Bridget – We usually go through EMS in Lake Placid when we go out with a guide. They’re pretty easy to book in advance and we’ve always had good experiences with them. We’ve had a guy named Mike take us out a couple of times on both rock and ice. He’s a super nice guy. Not sure if he’s still there, but it’s worth an ask. Roaring Brook is such a great intro ice climb. It really gives you the full experience. Definitely go for it!
