Both guides were effective teachers. They would explain, demonstrate, observe and then correct or suggest refinements. There was always another level of expertise available–and our guides were happy to go down any rabbit hole of knowledge they had (glacial features and route planning? check. One-handed munter and other knot variations? check. Names of each member of the Wu-Tang clan plus any alternative names? check and check.)
I loved the course. It was very fun and interesting. I believe the skills I learned will definitively be useful in my next climbing trips. We (my husband and I) have been with your company for two trips and already booked our third one.
