点评:My friend and I spent the weekend with Stephen learning to lead ice climb. He covered everything, from the weather and orienteering in difficult conditions to placing gear in snow and efficient belaying with gloves on. The emphasis on safety skills was super reassuring, it helped us feel secure in how we were climbing and gives us the knowledge to try more on our own in the future without putting ourselves in needlessly risky situations.
Stephen is genuinely just a super chill guy who was great chatting with throughout the weekend and gave tons of recommendations for good food and beer in town after a long day out. His passion for the mountains and the country really come through in all he does.
For anyone looking to try out lead climbing, in winter or summer, I'd highly recommend rock and water. You'll be in great hands and will have an unforgettable weekend!
翻译:我和朋友周末跟斯蒂芬学习了先锋冰攀。他讲解得非常透彻,从恶劣天气和恶劣环境下的定向,到在雪地里放置装备,再到戴着手套高效保护,无所不包。他对安全技能的强调让我们倍感安心,也让我们对自己的攀登方式更有信心,并让我们掌握了在未来独自尝试更多攀登技巧时,避免让自己陷入不必要的危险境地。
斯蒂芬本人是个非常随和的人,整个周末和他聊天都很愉快,他还推荐了很多镇上好吃的和好喝的啤酒,让我们在一天的攀登结束后可以尽情享受。他对山脉和这片土地的热爱在他的一言一行中都体现得淋漓尽致。
对于任何想要尝试先锋攀登的人,无论冬夏,我都强烈推荐 Rock and Water。在那里,你会得到专业的指导,并度过一个难忘的周末!
