  • "Paul did a great job integrating the course materials into a realistic day of touring. We planned, observed, and executed together - and it felt like a real application of the curriculum."

    —Julian

  • "After spending a few days with Paul for the SPI course it became patently clear that Paul has vast rock climbing experience and knowledge. What's more, he is able to articulate information in a clear way. My favorite part of the course was picking his brain about obscure / contrived climbing situations and hearing his thoughts."

    —Michael
