I had a one on one outdoor lead climbing class and it was an awesome experience. Lead climbing always made me nervous to consider, but Dan's confident and calm approach helped me gain confidence as well. Everything was explained well so that I was able to reason through it on my own without too much trouble. The day flew by and I learned how to lead climb, belay, build anchors, and clean and rappel.
