Testimonial for Private Guiding
"Our instructor Xiaoping Li was beyond amazing. While his demeanor is totally calming it does not get in the way of how important he feels about everyone's safety while you are learning. This was my first rockclimbing expirence and I can't be happier with all I took out of what was taught. Will always remember checking for my footholds :) Thank you for all!!" -- Liza Ramirez, Somers, New York, USA (July 4, 2017)

"Xiaoping was extremely accommodating to my son and I. Our needs were somewhat custom and he masterfully delivered a course that covered all our needs and a few more that we had not identified. He is a wonderfully patient teacher and pretty fun to just hang around at the cliff. His teaching methods are clear and concise. I highly recommend him as an instructor whatever your skill level." -- Sean Watson, Kitchener, Ontario (June 6, 2016)
