We book James for our first rock climbing experience; he was extremely knowledgeable and taught us a lot. He worked around the weather that was not on our side in the morning but with James’s expertise he found the perfect location for the afternoon climb.

This is the third time I've been out with James. He's a great guy, really knows his stuff, and is extremely encouraging. Each time I've learned more from him.

I really needed an outdoor "reset" and, after travelling extensively for the previous 2+ weeks in UK/Europe, just needed to find a way to climb. James of Gibbon Adventures, was able to tailor the climbing to my needs and ability as well as teach me some new skills. He also knew the best places to avoid adverse weather. I felt totally safe at all times and had lots of fun. Did not think I would be "Trad" climbing - I had never done this before. Great views- cascading waterfalls, pink heather in flower, and we were all away from the throngs of hikers - it was peaceful and serene.

Thank you so much James for the dedication and attention to detail you have put through the 3 days I trained with you. I have been extremely impressed not just at the level of skill and experience that you have but also at your natural talent to teach and motivate. A proper leader that I would recommend anyone wishing to learn or improve their climbing skills no matter what level you are at! See you again soon!

This was my first time climbing outdoors and James was an excellent instructor. He is incredibly experienced and created a bespoke 3 day schedule that matched my ability and what I was looking to learn, as well as the weather and the areas I wanted to climb in. I had a brilliant 3 days, enjoying the stunning landscapes of Snowdonia doing my first outdoor trad climbing and learnt a huge amount. James is a great teacher and took time to explain all the aspects of climbing. I can't recommend him highly enough.
