CAMDEN, ME, UNITED STATES, August 5, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Equinox Guiding Service, Midcoast Maine’s premier climbing guide service, has made history by hosting the first ever American Mountain Guides Association (AMGA) Rock Guide Course in Camden, Maine.

The 10‑day course brought together four Equinox instructors for intensive professional development under the leadership of Paul Koubek and Paul Rachele, both internationally certified IFMGA Mountain Guides. The training covered advanced technical systems, risk management, and client care — raising the bar for climbing instruction in Maine.
