What people are saying about Joaquin

Joaquin was fantastic. He provided us with a nice variety of climbs. We top-roped in the morning. Took a little break for lunch, then bouldered into the evening. I am pretty much a beginning climber and Joaquin provided many tips that helped improve my climbing throughout the day. Can’t recommend him highly enough!
