AJ was absolutely wonderful - knowledgeable, professional, and made the experience fun. Instead of canceling when I was the only one signed up, he brought along some friends so that I could still have the experience. 100% highly recommend and will make sure to come back to Revelstoke to do this again! Regarding the physicality of this experience: I am fairly active and have done some belaying and natural waterslides in the past, but experience is definitely not needed - just…”
