-Megan, Private Coaching Client
“Ben is a top tier instructor and guide! I originally hired Ben for private lead instruction, and his focus on my technique while cheering me on from the ground was super helpful in creating more comfort and confidence while learning a new skill. He makes sure you’re not only learning, but also being safe and having a blast.”
Our philosophy about instruction is centered on our values:
Growth, Adventure, Stewardship, Connection, and Equity
True learning takes place when students wish to grow, so we take pride in stoking passion for curiosity and reflection. We take responsibility for the natural resources that we love, so modeling stewardship is paramount to our ethics. We foster genuine connections between climbers, the natural resources that we play in, and our surrounding communities. We recognize that no two minds learn the same, so some students will need to receive new information differently.
