On longer routes the maximum ratio may be limited to 2:1 or 3:1 to ensure safety,
depending on the route and the experience of the climbing team. We also may choose
to climb an easier "training" route before moving onto one of the harder
routes, so you can warm up to the area, and we can develop the teamwork and skills
required for a tough climb. Weekdays are best for availability and avoiding crowds.
