What do our clients say about us?

Great day. Lots learnt from Chris and a really well tailored day for the right balance of fear and enjoyment! Thanks.

We had a fantastic day climbing Pinnacle Ridge and we couldn’t have asked for a better instructor in Alex. We felt safe at all times but it was still a challenging day. He also had lots of local knowledge. But most importantly, we just really enjoyed his company all day. We will definitely be booking again! It made our holiday into an adventure. Thanks so much.

Alex Jones was a superb guide - outstanding mountain skills and great company. Helpful, calm and quietly in control of the situation throughout, I am happy to recommend Alex in the strongest terms. I had searched the internet and tried four other different mountain guide providers with no success before Craig of Crags recommended your organisation. Without the recommendation from Craig I would not have known about this organisation. Furthermore, without Anne's helpfulness and administrative skills, this day would not have happened. A massive thank you to Alex for a hugely enjoyable day.
