Simeon was a pleasure to correspond with - very responsive and helpful. The guided climbing trip was great. Very fun and informative. I now feel comfortable leading and cleaning sport routes. I would definitely recommend SouthernXposure Guides to anyone interested, and I will reach out again for more climbing in Mexico.

Ashley

I have climbed with Simeon twice. Once by myself at Bernal and once at Aculco with my family. Both were amazing experiences. I am new to climbing and Simeon has always been patient and eager to teach with a major focus on learning how to climb safely. I highly recommend his guide service!!
