Camden, ME, February 07, 2025 — Equinox Guiding Service is proud to announce the launch of its Mountain Mentorship Program, designed to help climbers develop their skills under the guidance of experienced, certified instructors. This six-month program is tailored for individuals looking to refine their climbing techniques and prepare for professional certifications, such as the AMGA Single Pitch Instructor (SPI) Course.
“Our mentorship program is all about helping climbers progress in a structured, safe, and professional environment,” said Noah Kleiner, owner of Equinox Guiding Service. “Whether you’re looking to transition from indoor to outdoor climbing, build technical proficiency, or work toward guiding certification, this program provides a clear path for growth.”
Why Choose Certified Guides & Accredited Businesses?
When it comes to hiring a guide service, choosing AMGA-certified guides and accredited businesses is not just about getting expert instruction — it’s about safety, professionalism, and protection from liability concerns. Unlike uncertified or non-accredited guiding operations, Equinox Guiding Service operates with full insurance coverage, liability protections, and industry-standard risk management practices.
Key reasons to choose certified guides and accredited businesses:
Safety & Professionalism – Certified guides undergo rigorous training and assessment to ensure they meet the highest standards in technical skills, risk management, and teaching ability.
Insurance & Liability Coverage – Accredited businesses carry proper insurance, reducing risk for both clients and instructors in case of an accident.
Legal & Ethical Standards – Working with a certified and accredited guiding service ensures compliance with industry best practices, protecting both clients and land managers.
Unfortunately, many non-accredited guiding operations do not carry proper insurance, leaving clients exposed to unnecessary risk. Choosing an AMGA-accredited service like Equinox Guiding Service means you’re getting a team of highly trained professionals who prioritize your safety and experience.
