WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT PEAK FREAKS
Todd Sampson, Australia/Canadian "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" Dominique Gilbert, Canada I want to thank you guys for making this trip a success. From the dedicated sherpa team that I will remember forever to Tim's skills on the mountain, everything needed for a successful climb was there 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 expe Ralph Rhey, Japan
“Tim and Becky did an outstanding job of organizing, hosting and
guiding. You have surpassed my expecta
“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. 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. SCOTT WEBBER- EBC 2008 Trek Just
wanted to personally thank you and your company for an extremely well planned
and executed trip. Vanessa did a super job. I think with all the issues with
people sick etc, the logistics were quite challenging. As far as Ang Nima and
the rest of the sherpas, what can I say – they are truly amazing (big
understatement). Sincerely, Scott Ginette Rodger, Canada: EBC 2008 Trek Valerie Littleton, USA: EBC 2008 Trek Becky,I wanted to take time to thank you and Tim for allowing my father and I to participate in the Everest Trek. I know that my dad's cancer and chemotherapy gave new obstacles for everyone. (not to mention an over-protective daughter) but you not only allowed us to continue our plans to go, you encouraged it. I am not sure you realize how much the email you sent to me encouraging my dad to go meant to the both of us. We had such a wonderful time. We adore Vanessa and met so many wonderful people. I have such a respect for the Sherpa people. By the end of the trek, Lhakpa and Ang Nima were both calling my dad "Grampa".. What amazing men they are. And Sona could not have been more attentive to my dad. They were amazing. Base camp was a great experience, my dad was so thrilled to be there. Please extend my thanks to your husband. He was so kind and attentive to my dad. What a great guy! I feel so blessed to have been a part of this! It sounds crazy but I am already homesick for Nepal. I have fallen in love with the culture, the people and the mountains. I have traveled all over and have never had such adoration. I can't wait to get back there. Peak Freaks took such good care of us that you may never get rid of us. We are planning Kili in 2010.... so please count us in.. Thank you again for everything.. Namaste, Naomi Garnen, Canada: EBC 2008 TREK I'm not really one for organized trips, planning and logistics for me is usually more fun than the trip itself so this was hard in that I didn't have anything to book, I just had to show up. But if ever I do anohter organized trek, you can be sure that it will be with you gusys. Thank you for running nothing less than the best!
