Couple of friends and I had an great experience with Aaron up at Mt Arapiles last week. Aaron was experience, knowledgeable and flexibility were helpful throughout the two days in learning how to trad climb. We as a group had an amazing time and will definitely be coming back to learn more!

We went outdoor rock climbing at the Cathedral Range with Aaron. I have to say one of my best outdoor experiences.

Aaron was such a friendly and professional guide. We were filled with fun & laugh. The successful trip conducted with delicious BBQ at the mountain base. We invited Aaron to stay further with us for dinner to end up the amazing adventure as a team. I love it to bits and will definitely come back one day!

We had an amazing experience doing a 2 day course with Aaron, which included way more than quality and professional instruction. Aaron was able to manage our groups varying levels of skill, apprehension and enthusiasm without us feeling like we were being managed. Aaron has a relaxed and flexible approach to teaching with safety as the key focus. We learnt so much in our 2 days and had some amazing experiences, Aaron didn’t just pass on his knowledge of trad climb, but also his love for it. I would highly recommend Melbourne Climbing School.

Thanks Aaron, I had an awesome weekend learning to climb outdoors, being taught so much and really enjoying it. Aaron isn’t just super experienced and knowledgeable but he’s great to talk to and has such great teaching methods.

I seriously do recommend him if your wanting to transition outside as he’s a phenomenal teacher and I really do hope to come back out again sometime.

Thank you so much Aaron for an amazing weekend! I’ve only got 6 months of experience of climbing under my belt but having someone as experienced and cool as we did showing us the ropes made me feel like i could actually climb the daunting cliffs. I was a little more fearful than the rest of the group and Aaron was incredibly reassuring and supportive. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide. If you’re thinking of heading out climbing then Aaron is the man to make your experience a 10/10!

My kids and I have climbed a few times with Aaron.   He was great with the kids, making them feel safe and happy.   Aaron’s manner is calm and confident, he’s very knowledgeable, resourceful and patient and well able to explain technical info in an easy to understand way.   Would definitely recommend his services as a climbing guide and instructor. 5 stars

This was such a great learning experience. Aaron is warm and very professional with a lot of experience and knowledge behind him so I felt safe, comfortable and excited. He picked climbs that were the perfect level according to our abilities with the right amount of challenges that were overcome with his coaching.

I highly recommend this- the feeling of accomplishment aligned with the serenity of a beautiful view once you’ve conquered the climb is a worthwhile experience.

Aaron method of teaching is flawless. He showed us concisely how it was all done, let us made mistakes and told us after so we could learn from it, took his time when we had questions as we’re learning. Thank you for passing your knowledge and little tricks when we’re out there. Learned a lot and had such a thrill on that lead 13!

Took a three day course with Aaron and had a brilliant time from start to finish. He is an all round good guy, but more importantly a very patient and respectful teacher, who guided us on some great beginner climbs for a party of three that had little to no experience on actual rock.

Aaron was always attentive to our safety, and I gelled with his teaching style, which was not attempting to micromanage us in any way. We were all put into a challenging environment, where we were given enough space to have a go at problem solving for ourselves. This meant that when we were climbing we got the opportunity to have a go at figuring out what to do on a route, make mistakes, which were then discussed afterwards to constructively critique our gear placements, etc. We learned a lot in the three days, and it was very enjoyable.

Very good value for the quality of tuition and guiding! I am already looking at taking other courses with Melbourne Climbing School, so that has to be a good endorsement as well 🙂
