We had an extraordinary day with our guy, Sean Roberts. His skill, knowledge and enthusiasm were a treat. I felt very safe. He tailored the experience to be challenging, but not overwhelming . Heat to dust to do moves we didn’t know we would be able to do. He shared information of the geography and geology. I enjoyed his upbeat, positive Personality.
The Non-safety gear seemed a bit worn (Backpacks and kneepads). The safety gear was in Top shape.
We were in the Irish canyon. We did the standard approach to Blarney Left. We learned about various stemming techniques such as the knee bar, butt stem, and elevator shaft.
