                              WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT PEAK FREAKS

 

Todd Sampson, Australia

"I am proud to be a friend of you both. Your involvement in Nepal and its people is one of the things that Tim really impressed upon me, he is a different kind of climber, and I aspire to that. I would trust my children to climb Everest with Tim. He is one of the most well rounded climbers I know"

Wally Reisinger- Saskatoon

As time passes, the more precious the memories are of that trip Tim. As usual the best part of any trip is the people you meet, including yourself. it was an honor to be a part of a team led by a climber as gifted, experienced and humble as you. thank you .............I also hope that we will be able to climb together again..........all the best ......

Ray Bachman- USA

Being in business, I believe one of the best testimonies a business can receive is a repeat customer. On the flight home I was already making plans to return to Nepal for another trek and climb and it will be with Peak Freaks. Companies make a lot of claims to attract customers, and an often heard one is “The Personal Touch” . Peak Freaks bills itself as a small-scale company but it is large scale in making one feel like they’re a member of a family and not just a client. Tim’s personal involvement with all aspects of the trek was impressive, even serving tea and coffee in the teahouses! 

Jeff Newman-USA

I just  wanted to thank you Tim again for making the most out of a once in a lifetime experience for me.  Heli skiing with you  was so great and I will be dreaming about it for a long time to come.  Your professionalism is so apparent in how you manage the ski groups and the other guides during a day of skiing.  My quads are still screaming ( we skied Red and Whitewater too) but it was so worth it.  Thanks again.

 The smile just won't go away!

 

E.C. Smith Jr. Pennsylvania, USA

“Tim Rippel’s climbing skills and knowledge of the Himalayas and her people made for one of the most enjoyable and rewarding experiences of my life. It was more like climbing with an old friend than with a guide. His facilities were of the best at base camp.” 

Martin Clayton, Hong Kong

              “If you want to be at the sharp end of climbing a serious mountain with a small compact team, then climbing with Tim Rippel’s Peak Freak Expeditions gives you this opportunity.”

 

Craig Evanoff and Bonnie Hooge, Canada

                   “On both of our trips to the Himalayas with Tim and Becky we were impressed with the good organization and attention to detail. We appreciated that all team members were considered integral partners in the climbs, and were able to participate fully in all aspects of the expedition. A marvelous experience!”

 

Ralph Rhey, Japan

                 “Tim and Becky did an outstanding job of organizing, hosting and guiding. You have surpassed my expectations. Your attention to detail and effort to provide service was dedicated and thorough. Many companies could learn from you two.”

 

Murray Rice

Ontario, Canada          “The Canadian climbers have established an excellent reputation and relationship with the Sherpas (and visa versa), and therefore we felt this and were privileged to take advantage of this relationship and add to it. We were hosted royally on the expedition and wherever we went.”

 

Carolyn Pedlar, Canmore Alberta

          “Your love and concern for the people of Nepal was evident in so many ways! It was great to see your dedication to “giving and not just ‘taking’. You’ve formed a great partnership with these people.”

Tim Web, Calgary Alberta

 “ This was a wonderful trip and I would not hesitate a second to refer you to others, (I already have handed out all our cards).  Frankly I can tell you now that I will be going back with you.

Cindy Sullivan, Nevada USA

The best (one of the best) parts is the fact you both care about the country and the people.  It wasn't just a tour.  You helped us make a connection with the people.

Rex McConnel, Hope BC (70 years old)

As each day goes by I become more and more thrilled about the memories of our trek adventure.  The painful memories have become quite faded.  June says it is like childbirth.  Many, Many thanks to both of you for being such good guides. I can't tell you (and others) enough times how wonderful you (and Lhakpa) are, and how great you made the experience for all of us.

Jason Calder, Vancouver B.C.

I can't thank you guys enough on all your support and help.  This was the chance and experience of my life!!!  Life is too short to not grasp hold of chances like this.  You two are awesome, I am so glad to part of your lives and can't wait to go back to Nepal.  Thanks Becky for your excellent trek organization.  Everything was better than I could imagine.  Tim thanks for giving me a taste of mountaineering "I am hooked" I'll never forget that day we went up to Ama Dablam 9 hours of the most fatigued, awesome workout.  I can't wait to go back for more challenges.

Kathy Munoz, Spokane, WA

Sure anyone can book with any trekking company.  However, I am certain you will not get the quality and personal touch the Tim and Becky and there staff offer.  You guys are the best!

Thank you for a trip of a lifetime.  I am coming back.

And just too many more to add....
