I think this course is a great way to shore up your top rope skills, including some essential knots, building a top rope anchor, and learning about outdoor climbing gear. For me it has served as a solid foundation for outdoor climbing skills and knowledge. Mario is also an incredibly patient and enthusiastic teacher!
