AMGA SPI Exam at the New May 1-2

patrickweaver — Thu, 06 May 2010 12:34:32 +0000

AMI and the New River Mountain Guides teamed up again for a fun and informative SPI exam last weekend. Although the exam originally had six individuals, one person had to leave due to a family emergency. All of us on the exam wish Al and Kim the best through this challenge.

This was a fun exam and we had a great time working the different locations. The participants were quite strong climbers and had their skills dialed. Robby was enjoyable to watch climb, his movement skills were polished to perfection. Jay kept the group entertained with this wit and snappy remarks. His also dazzled the group with a lesson on the clove hitch that was well beyond what I had every seen. Good job! Adam did a great job keeping his cool, or maybe he is the most laid back person I have met.

Leah earned kudos with a single rope rappel system set up the was as dialed as it could be. This still didn’t stop Jay from making a remark or two, but Leah kept it in total control. Paul worked the crowd like any veteran teacher would, he relaxed everyone and had them thinking out of the box.

Thanks from Elaina and Patrick for all your hard work and letting us be apart of your experience.
