PARTNER(S):

I took another skill development course to continue to add to my toolset, this time with rock climbing anchors. 

After some in class time we spent a field day practicing ground anchors, testing them, and various types of anchors for all types of scenarios. 

Great group of people and a fun time dialing in skills while continuing to learn!
