Stories from

Adventurers

Johanna Stenholm
Kalmar, Sweden

"I booked a two-day lead sport climbing course with Rob. I learnt so much about lead, safety, technique and self-confidence. Rob customised the course to my level of climbing. You can really feel that he has a lot of experience in teaching, climbing and about the area around Briancon."

Rik Nikele De Graaf

We really enjoyed our lead-climbing course with Rob. We learned everything needed to be lead climbing by ourselves. Rob is extremely relaxed, fun and professional; we felt very much at ease, which is important when the stuff you're doing is quite scary Thanks a lot Rob!

"I took a course in lead climbing with Rob. It was very well organized, and I learned a lot with Rob, who is an extremely talented teacher. I would really recommend it to anyone who either wants to learn how to climb or level up their climbing skills!"

I’ve worked with Rob a few occasions, in a group context, and on solo trips. Robs knowledge of the area and coaching is exemplary. Whether it’s enjoying magnificent crag days or exploring via ferrata routes. Approachable and friendly, Rob is easy to get along with and leaves you feeling in safe hands throughout.

Our family did a number of activities with Rob. Rob is a great, enthusiastic guide, and the whole family enjoyed every activity we did. As slightly nervous climbers, Rob was supportive and encouraging. Overall, I can’t recommend Rob highly enough.
