50 modern techniques to increase enjoyment while descending. Many climbers consider rappelling to be, "the most dangerous part of the climb". This course is designed to make that less so. After I learned these skills and techiques, going down was transformed from a stressful crap shoot into a low stress puzzle of deciding what new tool I could use for the given situation.

Mark Smiley's passion for adventure has taken him on 30+ expeditions on five continents. He and his wife, Janelle, are the only people that have attempted to climb all 50 Classic Climbs of North America (48 successfully). He was part of a team to set a world record skiing across the entire Alps Mountain Range (1100 miles and 292,000 vertical feet) in a mere 36 days.
His teaching style is fun, mellow and easy to understand. As an IFMGA Certified Mountain Guide, Mark is among the world's elite guides to reach this status. More important than this certification, is his candid style of conveying to you the best techniques that will help you the most.
