I contacted Paddy at CanRock Mountain Guides for a two day Trad Rock 101 course. I received quality instruction along with a safe and super fun climbing experience.
We really appreciate the great job he does planning our trip logistics. We will continue to purchase his services for upcoming adventures!
Paddy is an amazing climbing instructor. He is incredibly knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable learning how to trad climb in just two days.
