A jolly old time

I’m not aware of any course with an itinerary as amazing as this one, but if it exists it’s probably not as good as HMI. HMI gap is an incredible environment to learn about every aspect of climbing, there aren’t many institutions that have students leading traditional multipitch climbs after eighty days. In addition to the curriculum, HMI has probably the best faculty of any course or institution I’ve ever heard of. You’d be hard pressed to find a group of people more smart, funny, experienced, and kind. This is the second HMI course I’ve done and faculty has been the best part of both, I’m not entirely sure how but HMI has found some of the best outdoor educators on the planet, the course is more than worth it for that alone. ‘Twas a good semester.
