Amazing learning and experience with Saano - Thank you MAX. I took the Level 1 Anchor building workshop and came back with lots of tool and learning. They just dont "tick the boxes" type training. They share a wealth of experience and are really interested in advancing your goals. If you want to become a better thinker and safe climber, this is the training company to go with. Would recommend in a heartbeat.
I took the tier one workshop and it was great! I learned so much about anchors. Max was great and made sure we all understood all the concepts. He also shared a lot of material for us to access after. I would 100% reccomend this course if you're interested in climbing outdoors.
I've heard about SAANO from three independent group of people before I actually took the lessons. The first time I got to know Max was through a non-profit that I was in, and the organization contacted Max to train us for anchoring & rappelling, and I instantly loved his teaching style: patient, encouraging, logical, and efficient. With Max's training, we successfully deployed a measurement device in a remote and technical terrain for science purposes. After I finished the training for free (as our non-profit paid for it), I signed up for the Tier 1 and 2 package out-of-pocket with four sessions in total. The price is less than $200 per session for an entire day with the package, and it's super affordable. During the day, Max jumped up and down on the cliff to give us feedback. It was a labor-intense task and Max always kept the vibe high and never showed a sign of fatigue. To be fair, I never took climbing lessons in other places so I can't compare SAANO to others, but sometimes you don't need comparison to know an instructor is truly outstanding when everything is perfect.
-September 2026: Thanks to Max’s courses, I’ve completed my 1st multi-pitch in Squamish-Star Chek. I lead for all of the 4 pitches and was able to instruct my partner to follow! - August, 2025: After taking the Level 1 class in May, I've been using the skills learnt from that class in my outdoor rock climbing trips, especially the concepts of redundancy in anchors, gears, etc. Now, I've signed up for 3 more advanced classes including Multi-Pitch, Advanced Rappel and Rescue, and Trad Climbing! I've done two of them during the past two weekends including Multi-Pitch and Advanced Rappel and Rescue. Very impressive that Max is able to teach such a big amount of techniques so well in just one day. I'm very excited to start my first multi-pitch climbing in the near future! And I'll be proud to tell my climbing partners that I learnt these skills from Saano Adventures. One minor comments on teaching a long sequence of techniques. It would be helpful if the steps can be divided into groups and the purpose of each group is called for more attention. For example, When passing knots on rappel, calling out weight transition using Klemheist knots and MMO; releasing the load and transition back to the rappel device. I found it helpful when I summarized what we learnt from the class onsite and when I'm back home too. - May 2025: Level 1 Anchors and Rescue: Max is an awesome climbing guide! He is very knowledgeable about various aspects of climbing techniques .He is very patient and answers our questions very clearly.In addition, it was very impressive that he used very intuitive concept to help us memorize the details, e.g., how to tie various knots. Furthermore, he is very kind and always willing to help even after the class.
Once you learn in one class from Max, you'll be hooked and need more! Working through the tier 2 workshops, I can confidently tell you that each one is incredibly thorough, detailed, and Max shows up every single time with so much passion that it helps everyone in those critical learning moments. Invest in critical skills and safety knowledge to get outside! Also, communication from Max in advance is through and consistent. Weather reminders and a comprehensive list of what to bring and wear. It all makes the experience excellent. Following up after class as well! You truly feel supported in your climbing journey.
