I took the Introductory course and had a great time. My instructor Molly was thorough, catered the learning to each persons learning style, and provided great feedback.

Took the “first ascent” class tonight with Brandon and it was amazing. Knowledgeable and professional, attentive to everyone in the class and was present to push each of us to our own abilities. 100% would recommend.

We had a great time visiting this gym for the first time. Great facilities! But beyond that, Dan went above and beyond when we got locked out of our car and gave us the battery out of one of his own devices to help us. Soooo appreciated!!! You should visit this gym for sure.

The classes are great and the rope climbing routes are sick. Dan is the man. I also took a class from another guy there who was great too I think his name was Brandon.

I would 100% recommend the lead climbing class at Portland Rock Gym. Our instructor, Brandon, was the awesome! He guided us through the best practices of lead climbing/belaying while always keeping body and mental safety a priority. After the completion of the two day course, I am excited to use my new skills in the gym as well as outside!

I just took the lead climbing class. I highly recommend it to anyone who is curious about trying lead. Brandon is an amazing teacher! He is incredible at encouraging you to be your best while keeping you safe and relaxed. As someone with a fear of heights I had respect and excitement in my mind when I took my first falls!
