We climbed the South Wall near Precipice Trail with Mike and he was awesome! He began with teaching our group some techniques on an easier climb before challenging us to test our new skills on a longer climb. He kept us entertained the entire time and taught us everything he has to do to remain safe on climbs. Only regret is not doing a longer session!
