Testimonials

What a fun day. Kevin is an amazing instructor! He is knowledgeable, kind, approachable, joyful, experienced, encouraging, and attentive. He gave clear, specific, helpful feedback and wasn’t afraid to correct our mistakes. This course was a great one day overview of trad climbing basics and a wonderful starting foundation.
— Amelia, Intro to Trad Course
It was a great experience, both Ryan and Kevin were super personalable and friendly. They were very encouraging on the climbs and patient teaching us everything, as well as giving plenty of pointers. Would recommend to anyone interested in giving a try in climbing even as a complete beginner. It’s not as intimidating as it can look.
