We took a beginner climbing course with trad, Javi our instructor was amazing and didn’t get tired of our repeated questions.
After this course I can tell I understand the basics of climbing. Apart from climbing he showed us beautiful and hidden places in Lofoten.

I had an amazing experience with Javier. We had a 2 day course that was adapted to our level so we really could build on all the skills we already had. I learned more in 2 days then I ever thought I would.
Thank you so much!!
