We booked a session with Ben on the Clifton Gorge for a hen do and despite our apprehensions, Ben quickly put us at ease with his patience and good sense of humour! I would definitely recommend climbing (and abseiling) with Ben again - thanks Ben!
I booked Ben for 2 one to one climbing lessons of 3 hours each and had the most brilliant time in Goblin Coombe and in the Avon Gorge. We had glorious weather. It was thrilling and so addictive. Ben was a great instructor, really patient and gave me lots of confidence. I will definately be booking again- it was fantastic. Will never forget the views from up high in the Avon Gorge!
I was lucky enough to have my wife book a 1 to 1 lesson for 3 hours climbing and abseiling on the Clifton Gorge with Ben.
It was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon in glorious sunshine. A brilliant challenge which got the adrenalin whilst remaining tethered and safe at all times. Ben was very accomodating and friendly which made the experience all the more enjoyable and he was happy to go at my speed and nerve levels!
I was buzzing for the next week and bored all my friends with the pictures. I would definitely like to do more which has to be the best advert and says it all!

My wife and I had a climbing session with Ben at the weekend and we would definitely recommend to anyone.
He was confidence inspiring, encouraging us to try and push our limits. He provided useful tips without being patronizing allowing us to explore unfamiliar techniques.
We had a great time and would love to do it again, Thanks Ben.

We would like to thank Ben, the instructor for an excellent experience. We would recommend Sheer adventure for anyone with or without rock climbing experience as I had no experience and my Husband did but enjoyed it both thoroughly. Ben created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere and would definitely go back for another wild experience.
We are a very small University based charity and we decided that an abseil would be a great, fun way to raise some money. I found Sheer Adventure online and from the very start Ben was really helpful and efficient and staying in touch about our event. The abseil itself was incredible - we did the 50metre abseil and the view of the suspension bridge was amazing. Ben was a great instructor and we even had enough time to do a couple of abseils each. We will be using Sheer Adventure again because we have decided to make the abseil an annual fundraising event.
I'd always fancied having a go at abseiling so when the opportunity came up to give it a go I jumped at the chance. I was part of a large group and the guys at Sheer Adventure were patient, calm and obviously very experienced. They helped us all overcome our nerves and get to the bottom in one piece! I can't thank them enough and would recommend Sheer Adventure to anyone who fancies giving climbing or abseiling a try.
Well what can I say.
Sheer Adventure were very professional, and were able to accomadate our large group with ease.
We had a wide range of abilities from never been near a harness and terrified of heights to having their own equipment and a regular to the "Spiderman" way of thinking.
Our instructor Ben picked a perfect pitch that would be easy enough for the total beginner but engaging enough to keep everyone entertained.
The confidence inspiring Ben made every effort to make sure everyone felt safe and reassured which enabled all of our abseilers to complete the drop.
With some content to have just made it to the bottom and say that they've "done it" and the rest of the group no sooner had their feet reached level ground they were scurrying back up to have another go.
Thank you from all of us at Bristol No3 BSAC for
helping us to raise £210 for our club.
I took my boyfriend and 9 year old daughter for an afternoon's climbing and abseiling with Ben. We all had varying degrees of experience and ability but, despite this, the session managed to challenge us and exceed all our expectations. Ben was amazingly supportive with my daughter and by the end she managed to make it to the top of the climb on her own (shrieking all the way)! I was then faced with the dilemma of either getting to the top myself or being mocked for all eternity! It was a very enjoyable afternoon and great value for money. I would strongly urge everyone to give it a go!
Over the day we had a group of 20+ people. Everyone were made very relaxed and everyone done the abseil including 5+ that were very apprehensive. Excellent day's abseiling. Very professionally run. I would recommend Ben to everyone.
The best way to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon - I took my boyfriend rock climbing and abseiling. We really enjoyed the day and the instructor was fantastic. Easy to get in touch with, good customer service and a very easy to book. We will definitely go back as it was such a fun day; challenging but not too challenging! I would strongly recommend this to others!
My boyfriend and I did the abseiling and climbing session with Ben in Aug 2009.The tuition was great and really friendly and we were put at ease very quickly. After the first tentative abseil, my partner was running back up the hill side for another go! The climbing was loads of fun and Ben gave some great tips on what kit to use and techniques that we are using with our indoor climbing. Would definitely recommend sheer adventure to anyone of any ability.
Me and two friends (there was supposed to be four of us but the fourth member had to pull out with a bottle-related illness - wine flu) booked Ben for a gentle introduction to rock climbing and abseiling. None of our unholy trinity had been daft enough to attempt any kind of Spiderman-type activity before so we were all pleased that Ben paced the session with a sensible, intelligently dictated, learning curve. Frankly I feel a bit queasy going up the escalators in Debenhams so I was impressed that Ben managed to persuade me to back off a small cliff attached to some rope for the abseil. His instruction on the climbing section was to "climb until you're out of your comfort zone; and then climb a little bit more." Fitting advice for life in my opinion.
I really enjoyed the rock climbing, it was just everything I was hoping it was going to be. It was great fun and the instructor was really helpful, especially seeing as my partner could not normally make it past 10ft and this time he made it to the top or each climb. He even did the absail twice with some great encouragement, and seeing as he is terrified of heights this is a big deal! I would reccomend sheer adventure to anyone, no matter how confident or scared you are, its jus a general great experience for a great price. I will definitely be doing it again.
