Jon’s résumé
“Dear Jason;
We would like to let you know that your employee, Jon, was a fantastic guide for our family last Friday, March 19. We felt completely safe and he provided us with many tips to make our climbing experience the best it could be. We would not hesitate to recommend Jon and your gym to others who are interested in climbing in Tucson.
Thank you for providing a wonderful experience!”
“Jon,
I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful time we had with your guiding Liam last week in Tucson. I can't imagine anyone giving a better climbing experience
than the one you gave him. I wish we were there more often. I can see why you are such a great coach!
If you ever need a recommendation for the quality of this experience, please let me know.
It was a pleasure to meet you, and I hope to see you in the future.
All my best,
Bill”
