EXCELLENT Based on 182 reviews Bogdan ForostTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing experience! It was my first time rock climbing, and Justin was awesome! Great instructions, fantastic route, and an excellent climbing partner. Couldn’t have asked for a better first experience. Highly recommend! Deon Janse van RensburgTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing day out in the mountain! Very knowledgeable guide and overall a highly recommended experience. Lucy TurnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I booked this last minute and ended up adding another person with me who had never climbed before. Justin made accommodations and took us on a more beginner route up Jacob’s ladder. He also was able to bring us climbing shoes and the rest of the gear. He was very engaging and showed us all the skills we needed to know for the day. This was my favorite experience in Cape Town and would definitely recommend (especially if you have climbed before)! Make sure to bring water ;) Larry Morgan Jr.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Justin is a great guide. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. Had a great time on table mountain and even picked up some tips and techniques along the way! Steven ParkerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thanks again for a great couple climbs! Honestly some of the best climbing I’ve done ever - the rock is so grippy! Justin was great to hang out with for the day. We used Africa Crag and Jacob’s Ladder which was just right for the time that we had. It feels a little awkward climbing over the barricades at the top (beside the cable car station) with other tourists around but that’s where the fun is :) Hamilton HauderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Went on Jacob’s ladder with Justin and he met me with an epic day!! His safety mindset is top notch along with his ability to explain everything you’ll be doing and what todo. Thanks!! Paul ConnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bumped into Justin when he’d just topped out on Jacobs Ladder with a fellow Kiwi on top of Table Mountain. A quick chat and I was convinced to use my last day in the Cape to climb the route myself. Justin has a way of engaging with people that automatically makes them feel very relaxed and like you’ve known him for ever. While doing that he has a fully professionally focus which adds to the experience. Jacob’s ladder has been on my radar for 30+ years and did not disappoint. Don’t think twice. Get a hold of him for a great day out. Mariana SacramentoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Justin is an experienced climbing guide! I had a lot of fun and felt very safe climbing with him as a solo woman! For sure Im gonna climb again with him!! Justin HaglerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've worked with several climbing guides in multiple countries, and Justin of Cape Town Climbing and Hiking stands tall above the rest. We hired him to take us out for a day of sport cragging, and he was able to quickly assess our skill level and then put us on some awesome routes to push our grade. Many other guides get skittish about putting clients on lead- awesomely, Justin encouraged it and I pushed my lead grade significantly as a result! I really appreciated his coaching style approach to our day and he was a lot of fun to hang out with as well. Highly recommend him for any climbers or people who want to try climbing who are in Cape Town. lászló mangliárTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was the best! Justin was really good in planning the best route for me yesterday. First time trad climbing, he made sure that I get everything right. We climbed the Africa Crag - a relaxed route with beautiful views, and black eagles. :) Absolutely recommended!
