TESTIMONIALS
Adrian Rosato
Rock Climbing Course
“Patrick was super helpful! I’m new to climbing outdoors, so I was quite lost. I didn’t know where to begin, who, or how to start. Patrick helped me figure out what I wanted to achieve, and once we worked through that, he was able to provide me with great support and knowledge on how to get there. Super patient, friendly, and always willing to help!”
