Looking Glass Mountain, one of the most unique mountains in the area, a "must visit". One of only two mountains of it's kind on the planet, its formation has baffled scientists and geologist alike. And to make sure you get the most of your visit, contact Fox Mountain Guides and Climbing School. Their guides have a superior knowledge of the area (some are the on-call rescue team for any emergency's that happen on the mountain) and an expert knowledge of the sport of rock climbing. I have been to two classes with them at Looking Glass and one in Kentucky! They showed us the in's and out's of rock climbing as well as the importance of maintaining and preserving the environment of such a beautiful destination. I would highly recommend Fox Mountain Guides as a first and only choice for a spectacular guiding service!

My girlfriend and I climbed at Chimney Rock with Anthony of Fox Mountain Guides recently!I've had a lot of climbing experience, and my girlfriend is just starting to get into the sport. Anthony made sure that both of us had a challenging, rewarding, and successful day! At one point, he ascended the feature to walk her through some of the cruxes, and help her make it to the top! We climbed 4 features that day. The final two were a crack climb, and a face climb. Both were rated at 5.8, and were great climbs!He also worked in a safety lesson on outdoor climbing, anchoring, rappelling and pointed me in the direction to better educate myself knots & anchoring.I would definitely climb with one of their guides in the future!

I climbed with Karsten at Looking Glass rock and had a great time. He was helpful, super competent, full of knowledge, and fun to climb with. I learned more in a day than I have in years. One of my best climbing experiences ever!

I did a half-day climb at Looking Glass and my guide (Ron) was very experienced so I felt 100% confident in his ability. I've been climbing for a while and looking to get some outdoor gear, so he was really helpful in answering all my extra questions.While it's not a really technical climb, being completely surrounded by green forest in all directions makes for some fantastic scenery. Don't forget to drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway afterwards to the overlook and get a photo!

I went with a venture scout group of 15 and had a fantastic time. Our guides were amazing, the view was beautiful, and the climbs were challenging but very fun. It is something that I would definitely do again, and undoubtedly recommend to others.

These guides are rated G and fun for the whole family! Experts at everything climbing, highly certified, excellent models of behavior for the kidos, and have an emphasis on safety so all you have to do is enjoy the great climbing! What I like best for the kids is giving them a sense of accomplishment and building confidence, which is also great for adults. But, I think the younger you start building confidence, the better. Climbing outdoors can bring up fears that once conquered will create emotionally stronger youths who can carry that strength into all their activities. Confidence building has also been shown to improve academic performance.I was a Martial Arts Instructor for 8 years, teaching children as well as adults. Now I teach in elementary schools. I climbed with Fox Mountain Guides with a small group that included children. They inspired me to continue climbing during my first experience.

My son and I went to Looking Glass last week and climbed with Karsten. He was knowledgeable (extraordinarily so!), safety oriented, and fun to spend a half day with. It was very easy to sign up on their website and then I received a phone call to confirm the plans. We learned climbing safety, basic bouldering, and good climbing body mechanics and then we had a chance to climb and rappel on Looking Glass. FMG was the organization that consistently had positive reviews when I looked for climbing opportunities in North Carolina and we were very pleased with our experience. I HIGHLY recommend this group.

Went with 7 friends to climb on looking glass for a bachelor party. Cody and Aziza (sp?) were great and patient with a group of hungover guys. Fun climb and great guides. I'll be booking them again when I'm in the area again.

We researched ½ day rock climbing trips on TripAdvisor and Yelp! Fox Mountain Guides and Climbing School came up repeatedly with several favorable reviews. Fox Mountain Guides is also the only climbing company that is AMGA accredited and their guides are AMGA certified. Booking a trip was easy…we called with specifications of our climbing abilities, distance we wanted to travel and length of approach. The woman who helped me suggested Table Rock in Linville Gorge, about an hour and forty-five minutes from Asheville. It was well worth the drive. Our guide, Wes, was waiting for us when we arrived and he was a pleasure to work with. He was professional, gave solid climbing tips, and encouraged us throughout the climb. Our climb included Jim Dandy, a brief foray on Lunch Ledge and finished on My Route. Originally, we thought we were going to do a 3-pitch climb finishing at 300 feet, but were really excited to send a 4-pitch climb, summiting at 500 feet. We would certainly book with Fox Mountain Guides again, requesting Wes, of course, and highly recommend this company overall.

I had an awesome experience with Fox Mountain Guides! Actually this was my second time around, and had the time of my life climbing up and looking out over God’s creation at Looking Glass. I was perfectly safe at all times. It was worth the money. My guide was Wesley Calkins and he was outstanding.
