The Best way to learn to climb; from a guide


Ashley and Katie contacted us because they had never climbed outside. They thought, as more people may begin to realize, that the best way to learn to climb is to take a forty day trip The best way to start that trip is to hire a guide to teach you the ropes. Now these girls can climb, scaling difficult boulder problems is not a problem. When it came to roping up and pitching out meter after meter they recognized a problem. Coming to an area for so long to learn how to climb one can be lead a stray; destined to spend 3/4 of the trip leaning the wrong things and the other 1/4 trying to correct the information. They forsaw this and hired us to teach them the ropes. In two days our guide Beckett Honicker tought them all the skills needed to climb multi-pitch bolted climbs.
