Trip Participant Feedback:
- “Patrick, Thank you so much for such a great trip. I came there totally stressed out and left feeling whole again. I can't say it was all because of you - - I think Mother Nature heals. But clearly, you made the trip special! I very much enjoyed the company of everyone on the trip, and I hope to take another Sierra Club trip with you again.” -- Ben
- “Bravo to our leaders, you guys did a fabulous job. Patrick, the food was amazing!” -- Sue
- “Patrick, Thank you again for leading such a wonderful trip. I felt so safe and comfortable under you leadership.” -- Judy
- “This is my sixth Sierra Club trip. They have all been top notch. They have all been led by Tom Miller, Barry Morenz, and now Patrick Frisbie. I would take another trip with any of them again anytime.” – Kirk
- “Pat was an excellent leader on this trip. He was very approachable and kind, and treated everyone with respect. He had lots of patience.” – Erica
- “Pat was also wonderful! He gave a great speech about conservation and our role in helping the environment. He also led at multiple segments and was just as great as Andy! It was hands-down the best vacation of my entire life.” -- Elizabeth
- "Patrick was great. He'd go back to the slowest hiker and make it seem as if he'd been waiting for the opportunity. He was always in the background sort of checking that everyone was OK. John was more the military leader, keeping the clock oiled and on time. Patrick checked for stragglers. It was a good combination." -- Winny
- "I hauled lots of worries/fears up to Kotzebue (i.e. getting eaten, freezing, failing, etc.). Like a pack-animal, I felt ready for everything/anything once we came together. The best time!" -- Leslie
- "You a fucking asshole!" -- Youling (yep, sometimes trips don't work out as planned)
