Jarrod Marshall

Born and raised on the rural West Coast of South Africa, the outdoors has been part of my blood since I was a child, wether it was the ocean or the mountains.

 

In recent years, I’ve been lucky enough to share this passion with others by qualifying as a mountain guide and showcasing our beautiful mountains and spectacular trails in Cape Town.

 

 

I also volunteer with mountain rescue to give back to the communnity in my own way.

 

I look forward to spending some time in the mountains with you!
