A review from our last Big Wall Course
June 2022 – Big Wall Climbing Course, Dublin
“Spent 3 days with Jono on an intro to big wall course in preparation for our trip to Yosemite. I can’t speak highly enough of the weekend. Jono tailored the course to what we needed, adapted as we went, and covered a lot of what we needed, both indoors and out. Would happily recommend Jono and Mountain Odyssey for all things climbing!”
