“Had the best experience with Jason on the Gold Mountain Via Ferrata! It was my first time doing a Via Ferrata so I didn't know what to expect but he was so calm and a great instructor; made me feel so comfortable even the advanced sections. I can’t wait to do this again as well as try the ice climbing with Basecamp as well! Logan was also awesome and knowledgeable! They exceeded expectations and I had so much fun! - Kim Hodoval” - Follow Kim On Instagram
