If you want an epic adventure, Seb is your man! I’ve booked so many private climbing and coaching days with him over the years, and we’ve climbed some of the best lines in the Rockies and Quebec. If I’m pushing the grade on ice, he’s who I want coaching me through it. Can’t wait for more adventures with Arise Guiding.

My friend and I wanted to climb Mount Aberdeen, and due to the route’s complex nature, we decided to hire a guide. Seb was a great choice and was experienced and efficient at navigating the terrain. We had an incredible day and the summit was unreal. I would definitely hire Seb again for another hard objective.

I’ve had the pleasure of climbing both ice and rock with Seb, and no matter the challenge, I always know I’m in good hands. I value his expertise in identifying and managing risks to keep me safe while bringing me up some of the hardest routes I’ve ever climbed. He’s a genuinely fun guy to be around, and my adventures with him in the mountains are certainly among my favorite memories.
