Description

"People think the natural progression is from running to scrambling to climbing, but it's better to start climbing with a rope for safety. You gradually learn the skills, learn what you can do, then when you start scrambling you have the experience to do it safely"

"The Grand Traverse was mostly 3rd and 4th class with some technical sections."

What? The North Ridge is one of the 50 Classic Climbs of North America.

You can tell Nick's background is climbing - very under-stated!
