What people are saying.

“Marty, I want to thank you for all you have generously contributed to my staff over the years. Without which we would not be where we are today - that is meant sincerely. Your group of Guides can be a tremendous resource on rescues involving ice/rock climbing activities. ”

— LT Darryl Kittle; Zone Supervisor, NYS DEC Forest Ranger

“I first began climbing with Marty in the spring of 1999 (20+ years ago). When I think back at the timid, novice that first knocked on his door, then remember the many climbs we have done together, I am truly amazed. I look at pictures of our current trips, and I hardly recognize the climber in them. Marty consistently and patiently mentors me. He always believes that I have potential that often I don't see. Because of him, I look at those pictures and I proudly say, 'That woman is ME! I'm a rock climber!' ”

“Troop 71 wishes to thank your organization - especially instructors Tai, Bob and Cam for a terrific first experience in Ice Climbing. Tai was absolutely terrific in leading the way from equipment sizing to climbing the mountain to making sure we got down safely to "doing a good turn" for a stranger! Our boys were in absolutely the best hands possible - safe, dependable, pushing each scout to do their best - and pushing each one to climb the top of the mountain! Yours in Scouting,”

— JP & Paul

“Where to start? Fabulous climbing for all, including our tiniest girl (miracle of miracles that you could find a climbing harness for a 30-lb mini like her); wonderful patient instruction. Thank you for taking the time and the effort with all the small details; it made a huge difference, and it's why we will always come back to Alpine Endeavors! Kind regards,”

— Louella and the San Juan family

“I have worked with Alpine Endeavors & Marty Molitoris since 1998. Our travels have taken us to rock climbs in New Paltz, The Adirondacks, Boulder, Colorado and Red Rocks, Nevada. We've ice climbed in the Catskills, hiked in Cold Spring and even a canoe portaged in and around Lake Saranac, New York. Each experience was terrific. The guides were knowledgeable and well prepared. Their concern for safety was paramount. I highly recommend them.”

— MB Sachs, Greenwich, Connecticut

“Both my wife Joan and I have known and been climbing with Marty since 1991 (that's a long time!). He has always been a strong, safe, and well-informed climber no matter whether he is climbing in his back yard at the Gunks or in other areas which he is not as familiar with . We have climbed with Marty in New Hampshire; Red Rocks, NV; Seneca Rocks, WV; Needles, SD; Devils Tower, WY; and other locations. Additionally, we have climbed with many Internationally Certified Guides in many countries over the past 20 years, and we consider Marty one of the best. He has a great positive personality, is very motivational, and lots of fun - important on any long trip! Above all Marty has provided us with the instruction and encouragement necessary to become much better climbers and get the most out of the sport.”

— Al & Joan Morena, Mountain Top, PA

“Jennifer and I have been climbing since 2001. Climbing is our passion and Marty's Alpine Endeavors is the best partner to share it with. They have consistently provided a very safe, fun and inspiring environment for us to enjoy both rock and ice, develop skills and realize our climbing ambitions.Marty, Angelo and Ryan are great guides - they have plenty of humour and skills, oozing competence and empathy, but they can push you when needed. They take pride and joy in your success and help you achieve it by setting new challenges. We get additional comfort knowing how safety oriented Marty is and how much training he organizes for his guides.So our climbing is getting better and better, and we have fun while it is happening. We can't wait to book another climbing day. ”

— Jennifer Powers, Jacek Wojtowicz, New York, NY

“I started my climbing career under Marty's tutelage many years ago (1999). He has been able to support my climbing needs as my skills improved and interests in climbing broadened. Marty is an excellent mentor who has provided the encouragement and training that has allowed me to reach my goals as a climber.”
