Client feedback: Conrad Mtshali

“I recently had the privilege of attending Gavin’s Basic Mountaineering Course. From the time I first contacted Peak High Mountaineering inquiring about the course, Gavin has been very helpful with his prompt responses and brochures.

As a first timer to rock climbing, I feel that the three day course has adequately prepared me for more complex mountaineering endeavours. Gavin’s calm demeanour, and clarity of instruction made the whole course to be fun and adventurous. Sometimes, I even forgot how perilous rock climbing could be if a person is not careful. Besides, his excellent skills as an instructor, Gavin is a friend. As a functional introvert, I felt welcomed and enjoy the course. His varied knowledge of the rock climbing and mountaineering makes him to be the first choice for anyone wanting to learn about mountaineering. His approach was very hands on and patient as it is to be expected of course. Although I cannot claim to be an expert rock climber after just a few days of doing the course, I am confident that I now possess the basic knowledge and skills to tackle more mountaineering challenges.

Furthermore, with enough practice, I will be able to tackle more complex rock climbing crags. I am planning to work more with Gavin on other activities in the future and would recommend him to anyone wanting instructions on mountaineering or guiding on high altitude mountain climbing. ”
