Did you feel the camping was well organized? If not, please explain below: - Yes, we were very impressed, and especially impressed with the fact that you were able to accommodate Dave's vegetarianism. We thought that all the meals were really tasty too! We felt well taken care of especially since we did not have any of our own camping equipment. You guys had everything we needed. We felt right at home!

Did you feel the meals were well provided for? If not, please explain below: - See the above response.

What aspects of the course were particularly difficult? How do you think your guide/instructor could have remedied this? Please explain below: - The information was understandable. The only frustrating part was fighting Dave's flu. (He was sick for the rest of that week!)

What aspects of the course were particularly rewarding? Please explain below: - The most rewarding part for me was when I actually made it up to the top of the first route without stumbling on the first and most difficult move, the mantle.

Did you learn what you had originally expected to learn? If not, what do you feel you should have learned more about? Please explain below: - Yes, we wanted to learn about lead and trad climbing. I would have liked to have more practice lead climbing but I understand that it was a time issue. I think that you took that into consideration and that was part of your decision in inviting us along to your university climbing session. We really appreciate that.

Did the instructor/guide organize and explain course presentation well? If not, please explain below: - Yes, all the material was presented clearly and simply.

On a scale from 1-10, what is your overall impression of the course/outing? - 10 out of 10. It was a great experience; it was really neat that we were able to visit one of Korea's most famous mountains at the same time. We really enjoyed visiting Sorak Mtn. but we felt that the hiking and the time to reach our climbing routes took away from instruction time. Sorak Mt was incredible and we are so happy that we saw it and that we can say we have rock climbed it but at the same time, we felt that we lost some instruction time. We understand that you were also combining trad and lead into one course, so that was probably another reason for the time limitation.

Was your overall impression with IGK positive or negative? Please elaborate below: - IGK: You are passionate about rock climbing. You take into consideration all elements of climbing, especially the safety and the personal needs of your students. I really appreciated that you were so understanding and patient with my beginner abilities.

Thanks,
Sylvia
