SAANO ADVENTURES

The Anchors and Rescue course was very informative. We learned knots, how to rescue a stuck climber and how to set up safe top rope anchors. The instructor, Max, was really knowledgeable, cautious and quantitative. Max pointed out safety issues about which other instructors I've had in the past weren't even aware. The location at Cragmont Park was very convenient.

I am a beginner in outdoor climbing and the Intro Anchors and Rescue workshop was the perfect course in terms of Max's thorough and easy-to-understand explanations, his vast experience with climbing and guiding, his impressive patience, and steadfast commitment to increasing climbers' confidence and safety. I was particularly impressed with his ability to breakdown the technical parts and theory behind what he was doing as he wanted to push us to understand the why behind it all so we can be smarter and safer climbers. I highly recommend this course and Max to anyone!

Max is an excellent instructor - he has good conceptual frameworks for climbing safety, but he also knows how to explain the gray areas at the edges of the textbook knowledge. Highly recommended.

Really great way to learn the fundamentals of outdoor climbing. Max is a great instructor and I would highly recommend the school to anyone with an interest in climbing outside the gym.
