Had Aaron teach me and three others over two days. Very informative and answers any questions you have with climbing with confidence. Over all great person and teacher
Did the learn to lead course with The Climbing Company. SUCH A GREAT COURSE!! I felt so safe and now after completing the course feel confident to go to indoor gyms and do their lead assessments. Even when I had hiccups in the learning process, Aaron helped me along figuring out ways to improve my techniques and for me to understand the learnings. I would recommend to anyone wanting to learn lead climbing!!! Thanks so much to Aaron and the team at The Climbing Company
Very well taught lead course that prepares you well to lead with a number of common belaying devices.
The instructors were extremely helpful and encouraging, and we had a great time
Fun climbing day for three generations, me, my son and three grandchildren. Hamid was brilliant, and the kids got to do loads of climbing. They get fed up waiting when I’m setting the top ropes.
A fantastic experience, recommend for anyone thinking about giving climbing a try, a great way to get into it!
Rob was an absolute Lad. He did great explaining all the safety stuff. Great spot to learn and they are great teachers. Rob’s communication was great. Overall a amazing experience.
I loved this! Rob had hella rizz and elite comms! Had Aaron on quickdial the whole time, “keep it above your hip bones, the rest I don’t care”
