A woman in pink winter gear with sunglasses and a helmet, smiling on a snowy mountain landscape with rugged peaks in the background.

“Aaron approaches climbing with an uncompromising adherence to safety. His teaching isn’t just about ‘how,’ but also ‘why/why not.’ He is communicative, thoughtful, thorough. Climbing with Aaron = best time ever. If you’re thinking about booking, do it! Be warned, your face might hurt from smiling so big.”
