Jesse was a phenomenal teacher and climbing partner! It was my first time doing a multi pitch route and he took me on the perfect route for my skill level and experience. He is a super kind, encouraging, and experienced guide and it was such a blast spending the day with him climbing the chief! I would definitely recommend him for any skill level or age. Thanks Jesse!!

I took a 2 day course, intro to climbing and top rope anchors which were both great!! My instructor the first intro day was Sarah, who was able to provide lots of helpful trips and tricks for different ways to grip or gain purchase on holds while climbing. The second day for top rope anchors my instructor was Jesse, and he has a wealth of knowledge and experience! He was patient, professional and provided great information on gear for someone who is new to the sport of climbing. Would absolutely recommend booking with Squamish Climbing Academy! 😊

Yesterday, my girlfriend and I went climbing with Squamish Climbing Academy for a Half-day Private Intro to climbing program. Our guide was the owner and founder Jesse. He was professional and had great knowledge of the local area. He took us to Tunnel Rock in the Smoke Bluffs and put us on routes that were just right for our ability level. His instruction style was fun and easy to follow. He taught us crack climbing skills, how to belay, do ‘CRASH’ safety check and how to coil the ropes. Then, once he made sure we were dialed at belaying, he went to the top to take great photos of us from the top of the climb. Could not recommend the Squamish Climbing Academy enough for…

Couldn't have asked for a better guide for climbing in Squamish with my daughter. Right from the start with the booking process, he was responsive and curious so that he could offer suggestions of routes to climb. We settled on a multi-pitch climb, Indra's Net which offered stunning views and a good challenge for my daughter and me. Jesse was patient and a great teacher for some new belay techniques for my daughter. Once climbing we never felt rushed, felt confident and supported with him being on the other end of the rope. Would highly recommend going with Squamish Climbing Activity! Thank you for an incredible day while we visted the area on vacation!

My daughter attended a 5 day camp at the start of the summer with Jesse and the Squamish Climbing Academy. Jesse made the camp fun for all levels of climbers while still prioritizing safety. The team of guides and staff were very positive, encouraging and helpful. The camp taught the youth everything they need to know to continue outdoor climbing in the future. Jesse delivered on all aspects of the camp and made this a truly remarkable, impactful and a life changing experience for my daughter. I couldn't be happier with my daughter's experience and we plan for her to return as soon as we can for a longer camp. Thank you Jesse!

Our families spent a great half day with Jesse as he took us top roping and rappelling. He was amazing with the kids (2-7yos and 1-10yo), teaching them quite a few things while being super patient and adjusting for each of their skill levels. The 3 adults really had a great time as well, learning various techniques and getting in some climbs. Thank you, Jesse, for such an amazing experience!
