Sugar loaf climb - I had an amazing climbing experience with Ivan on Sugarloaf. We did a three-pitch climb and it was an absolute highlight of my time here. Ivan is a super knowledgeable, solid, and relaxed guide. He knows the area incredibly well—where to climb, what works best—and shares that knowledge in a really approachable way. His communication is clear and calm, and he explains procedures thoroughly, making sure everything is done properly and safely. I really appreciated how he gives gentle, constructive corrections when needed without ever making it feel intimidating. It made the whole experience both enjoyable and a great learning opportunity. Overall, I had such a lovely time and felt completely confident climbing with him. I’d definitely go climbing with Ivan again if I get the chance while I’m here. Rio Mountain Sports and Ivan made this a really cool and memorable experience—highly recommended!

Fantastic climbing experience! - Fourth time I've climbed with Ivanir, its always fantastic. Also Thomas took me and my 12 year old nephew to teach him multi-pitch and rappel. A fabulous experience. Rio has some of the best urban outdoor climbing in the world - not to be missed!
