My husband and I had a great day climbing with Simon! We are intermediate climbers and originally sought a guide to get on harder routes we were too intimidated to lead. But Simon was so helpful in giving us advice on technique, we wished we’d signed up for his whole course. Next time! Simon is fun to spend time with – he is easy-going and funny. Book him!

I had a great time, Simon is an amazing instructor and a lovely person, finds something for everyone. He is super calm and kind, knows when to challenge and when to take it easy. He took us to the most amazing places, we could experience different types of climbing. It was well organized, Myriam and Simon were also helpful with ferry schedules and practical advice for our stay.
