I enjoyed the clinic and was very glad we got to get on rock even though the weather was less than ideal. However, I don't feel like I learned much in the clinic. The instructors set routes for us but that was about it. Would love some more focussed skills practice, information, etc next time.

Great outdoor climbing experience! Aubrey, Ada and Finn were a great team to go climbing with. I felt very safe and secure with all of them.

It was really fun climbing and I really enjoyed spending time with the people in my clinic and was glad that we got to climb despite the weather. I felt that I didn’t really learn much in my clinic and it felt more like the guides just set routes and then let us climb but there was no guidance on how to be a better climber. Didn’t really feel like a clinic.

It was my first time climbing outdoors and it was so special to do it with people who were so supportive and made me feel so safe!

Ada, Finn, and Aubrey were excellent! They were all super knowledgeable and made this clinic awesome in spite of the less-than-ideal weather! I've only climbed outdoors a handful of times so it was nice to get a good refresher on skills, learn some new ones, and just get on the rocks. They were accommodating and very supportive of everyone and made sure we were all having a great and memorable time!

I really appreciated all the care and consideration that Jess and Meg had in making the clinic as meaningful as possible despite the adverse weather conditions! It meant a lot that they were willing to spend the day with us discussing fears related to falling and catching. It also meant a lot that Meg was committed to going out to the crag as long as it wasn't raining; it was the optimistic push everyone needed and we all got in a few climbs! Overall, I really loved the discussion and the camaraderie that our group fostered and I think it really helped create an environment to ask questions, get tips, and learn from each other. I know many of us were looking forward to getting practical exposure/practice taking falls and catching on lead, which most of us did not get to do. However, it was good for me to practice falling on top rope with some of Jess and Meg's tips in mind. With the weather our of anyone's control, I will talk about the things I think they did very well: - Discussed in-depth (discussion-based) the blocks related to falling - Discussed strategies involved to normalize and manage physical, emotional, mental blocks with falling - Demonstrated all the safe(r) ways to take a fall so we know what to strive for - Encouraged us to take falls in different ways Things to dive more into for the future - We did not talk about good belay strategies or catching as much I hope to see everyone again!
