“Had a fantastic time at Vertical Ventures! Our instructor, Farrah, was outstanding—patient, professional, and an excellent communicator. She made the entire experience comfortable and fun from start to finish. At 68 and 71, we were probably the oldest there, but that didn’t matter one bit—we had an absolute blast! We’ll definitely be back. Thanks, Farrah! 🙌”
