“This was our third time climbing and abseiling with Earl and his team and every time gets better and better! Would highly recommend these guys. They really know their stuff and are great with all age groups and all levels of ability. We especially appreciate the way Earl has encouraged and helped both our young girls to participate in and enjoy both climbing and abseiling. Thanks again Earl and team!”

“Highly recommend a day out of abseiling and rock climbing with Earl. We had an amazing time and found it so exhilarating and challenging. I can’t praise Earl enough on his patience, knowledge and down to earth manner. We always felt safe and he did an awesome job at settling our nerves and spurring us on through our hesitations. Can’t wait to do it again.”

“Our “GaP n Back” crew took the leap of faith with Earl! What an experience!! Earl’s expertise and words of encouragement with kids & adults alike gave everyone the chance to step out of their comfort zone and experience the thrill of abseiling off a 22m cliff face. Rock climbing catered for the diversity of our group of ages 5 and above! Highly recommend for family group of all ages.”
