Instruction

Quit whining. Drink bourbon. Climb more.

Have you ever had any professional climbing instruction?

Yes, I have taken a climbing class that I paid for or have hired a guide.

No, I learned everything I know about climbing from my friends for free.

took a class when i decided to learn to climb trad. craig leuben's an awesome teacher and vedauwoo is fabulous.

i wonder if in the 5 years since you asked that question if the results would be any different. since we can't turn off the poll and restart
the results as of today is that 12 people have taken a class and 13 people havent.

I just followed Don around. I got all the advice on climbing, music, recreation and life I could ever need.

I took a two day Warrior's Way course with Arno Ilgner. Best $150 I've ever spent towards my climbing.

No class. No guides. My friends are the teachers and guides....
