Were the correspondences with your guides/instructors previous to the course difficult? Please explain below: --Peter answered all of our questions via email prior to arriving.

What aspects of the course were particularly difficult? How could your guide/ instructor have remedied this? Please explain: --There was one section of the ridge climb that was quite hard for us to do. However, Peter was creative and found solutions so we could be successful and complete it safely.

What parts of the course were particularly rewarding? Please explain: --We did the ridge climb the first day and Insubong the second day. Arriving at the the summit of Insubong was incredible. The view was fantastic and we had a great sense of accomplishment.

At anytime did you feel uncomfortable or unsafe with the course? Please explain: --Insubong was our first experience with a multi-pitch climb, and our first experience with slab granite. While we were pushing our own skill limits, we never felt unsafe. Peter even modified one section of the climb so we would be more comfortable and have quicker success. They truly put safety first and did their best to make us feel confident when we were nervous.

Were you confident with your guides/instructors? Did they satisfy your expectations? Please explain: --Peter and Ahn Chi Young were wonderful. They were very patient and calm throughout, obviously well skilled.

Did you feel the tour was well organized? Were there any aspects of the tour that you felt needed improving? Please explain: --The tour was very well organized. We were concerned that it would be too difficult for us, but Peter chose routes that were within our ability, but still challenging.

Did you learn and do all that you expected? Were there any parts you felt were missing from the course? Please explain: --Peter offered safety tips, explained why things were done a certain way, and shared information throughout.

From a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being most positive, what is your overall impression with the course? --10. We are definitely going to recommend IGK to anyone who wants a positive, safe climbing experience in Korea.

Did you feel the course was an overall rewarding or negative experience? Please elaborate below: --Very positive. We really had no idea what a ridge climb was, and what a multi-pitch climb on slab granite would entail. It was an amazing experience, and has increased my own confidence in climbing.
