Above expectations

Overall a really pleasant and greatly valuable experience! (Outdoor Coaching Level 2)

The positives that we often give for granted:
-the booking experience very smooth
-a lot of practical and really detailed information shared before the course (what to pack, the schedule of the trip etc.)
-the transfers from/airport flexible and with really clear indications to follow

Above expectations areas:
-accommodation absolutely fabulous, clean, really well equipped kitchen area, well organized and cozy common areas- far above the standard I would have expected or anything I have experienced on a climbing trip
-course materials and instructor engagement (climbing technique specific exercises each day, daily post climbing homework, video analysis, article reading and similar)
– a lot of course material shared to keep the learning process going beyond the trip

Why not 5/5:
-the use of time when at the crag- sometimes the climbing rhythm was a bit slow and I felt quite some time passing by standing around not really needing a rest and wanting to climb more
-the climbing volume- because of the specific focus of the course around climbing technique improvement that requires a lot of easier climbs I felt by the end of the trip a lot of gas still left in the tank- or perhaps just an appetite to book a next climbing vacation :)

(Response from Rock & Sun: thank you for all the positive comments. We look forward to joining one of our climbing holidays, where we provide everyone the opportunity to climb as many and as hard routes as they like, and less time is spent on explaining and practicing efficient climbing movement)
