Awesome day of climbing - I'm a solo traveler with a limited budget but it was worth the money to go climbing with this crew. Super professional and I felt safe the entire time. Highly recommend :D Shoutout to Shankar for being super kind when I was nervous and explaining things clearly! 10/10 would recommend!
