Testimonials for Advanced Top Rope Anchor Setting and Rappelling course
"Very enjoyable day to review techniques from Top Rope Anchor Setting and Climbing and to learn some more about rapelling and top belaying. Safety concerns were very much a priority as well as collaborating with other course participants." -- Patricia Robinson, Collingwood, Ontario (July 1, 2014)
"One of the things I appreciate about Zen Climb is that you make sure that students understand the reasons behind particular techniques - especially when these have to do with safety and risk management. They're not always completely obvious to a beginner. So, for instance, you didn't just show us how to set up a rappelling device. Instead, you taught it as a kind of history lesson. You started with the "oldest" approach, and then showed why it was dangerous. Then you went through each improvement that was made over time, until arriving at the current technique, which is what we learn and practice. Combined with the hands on practice it's a really effective way to commit the steps to memory. This also encourages us to always think about what kinds of risk exist in different situations." -- Michael Clarke, Toronto, Ontario (June 12, 2014)
