This is what Rock & Sun clients have written about Justin:

“Our instructor, Justin, was fantastic. Clearly very experienced and very patient, letting us work out our own routes before offering advice if we really got stuck! He taught us about all aspects of climbing outdoors, from abseiling to having a go at placing gear. He kept things interesting and took us on routes that were challenging but possible – just right”. (Intro Rock – Wye valley).

“Our group had a fantastic weekend with Justin as our instructor. He was able to gauge our abilities and preferences quickly and plan our days accordingly. We learned a lot; leading easier sport routes and toproping more challenging and longer routes. Justin was patient, friendly and highly professional throughout. I’d love to do another course with him in the future”. (Private Guiding – Wye Valley)
