Basic climbing course - I'm over 60 years old, I had never climbed in my life and I was surprised that in the sixth lesson of the basic course 1, I was calm and climbing Sugarloaf Mountain. Everything is very safe, thanks to the professionalism, attention and responsibility of Companhia da Escalada and its excellent instructors.

Best experience - I complete the basic course 01 and I am very happy with the knowledge acquired and the experience of climbing. All the instructors are exceptional and the material impeccable. Each class is a surpass. At the beginning I was scared and I thought that I was not able, now I am already enrolled in Basic 02 and I want to continue to evolve. I highly recommend! The Climbing Company is top! A special compliment to Cynthia and Daflon, I'm a fan... sensational people. Thank you for everything.
