Well, Scott, I think you achieved everything you set out to! Climb on real rock. ✅ Solidify lead belay technique. ✅ Study up on basic multi-pitching skills like cleaning trad gear, efficient belay changeovers, and rappelling. ✅ Get a taste of the classic Keene routes and crags. ✅ It was a roaring success and your positive attitude and eagerness to learn and try new things made our time together an absolute joy! Until next time, my friend!

Get a first-person view of our climb up the Regular Route on Chapel Pond Slab and a few climbs at Jewels and Gems. Both spots are real treats with their quality and quick approaches right off the road!
