| Jeff (Who lacks the skill to express this in any tense other than first person): Having taught a fairly large (>10) number of people to lead one-on-one, and having failed to teach people much of anything when attempting to instruct a larger group, I'm becoming quite convinced that the only good instructor:student ratio for rock climbing is 1:1.

| On May 26, 2007, a number of instructor/student pairs will head up to Squamish and give/recieve the intro to climbing. It will be radical.

| To be an instructor, you need to have some idea what you're doing, and you'll need appropriate gear for whatever you think you're going to teach. You certainly don't need to be a particularly good climber or a real expert. You do need to know enough to keep you and someone totally new safe, though.

| To be a student, you ideally have no outdoor rock experience. No indoor is fine too. A bit of outdoor is acceptable, but if there are more students than instructors, priority will go to people with no experience, as they need this more.

| Transport: We throw as many people into cars as we have, and the rest can Greyhound.
