and Skaha Rock Adventures Ltd.
Russ, I just wanted you to know
what a great time we had rock climbing ! There were 4 of us
from IKON and we all had a great time ! Mike was excellent,
very helpful and he gave us the confidence that we all needed
to "do the thing " ! I felt very confident because I could
see that safety was Mike's #1 priority and we all felt in
very good hands. There's a good chance that we as a company
will be back because we felt it was excellent as a "team building
" exercise.
An excellent experience !!!

"Russ -- just a quick note to say what an awesome course on
the weekend. I had a great time, Sheila is an exceptional
instructor. There were times when I was so scared to step
off the wall but Sheila handled everything so well, slightly
pushing me to do it but also giving me enough time to make
my own mind to step off the wall when I was rappelling. As
well, I feel pretty confident in what I learned about anchors
and how to check through all the ABCD's, IDEAL's and also
the top to bottom approach -- I think I used them all, every
time I was setting an anchor or getting ready to climb or
rappelling on the weekend!! It was great to have Sheila as
an instructor."
It was awesome!!
Thanks, Kari -2002
"The quality of individual and small group instruction was
excellent. The skills were introduced in a clear, progressive
manner with strong consideration given to safety. Your cooperation
and interaction with our group allowed participants to feel
very comfortable in the activity. The course expanded not
only my knowledge and skill base but allowed me to become
a more confident and safety conscious climber."

"Russ is a natural when it comes to instruction in the climbing
field. He really knows his stuff and hands it down to the
students to soak up this information."
Mike Shannon, Kelowna, BC -1997
"The instruction was pitched at a perfect pace for learning
and understanding. I got a real buzz from being submerged
into a new sport. It has given me the confidence and ability
to climb with more experienced climbers. Russ's enthusiasm,
knowledge and teaching style made it a superb day."

"In Basic Rock I learned to trust myself and those around
me with confidence, maximizing and surpassing what I thought
my personal limits were."
J. Movold, Kelowna, BC -1996
"Above all, it has reminded me to appreciate and respect our
surroundings and in doing so, we can get much enjoyment out
of it. I am confident enough at the end of Basic Rock Climbing
to advance further. You can accomplish anything if you set
your mind to it."
