Educational blast!

My friend and I had an awesome couple of days out learning crack climbing, trad gear placement, anchor building, and gear swapping skills with Jerome. Feel like I gained a ton of practical experience on both days.

Jerome was great, very friendly and knowledgeable and created a well-paced couple of days for us.

Feeling stoked about trad now, very worth the $!
