\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nWe would like to give a huge THANK YOU to IMG Guides Emily Johnston and Austin Shannon for an amazing experience on our Intro To Mountaineering Course.\u00c2\u00a0 It was an experience none of us will ever forget.\u00c2\u00a0 Emily was an exceptional instructor teaching us self arrest with our ice axes and how to “walk like a monkey down a hill” with our crampons.\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0We had such a great time with many laughs throughout both days.<\/p>\n
The second day, when Austin joined us, was sweet!\u00c2\u00a0 Having the opportunity to repel down a crevasse and ice climb out was absolutely awesome.\u00c2\u00a0 Never having ice climbed before I have to admit that I was absolutely terrified, however both Emily and Austin were very comforting and professional easing each of us into the situation.\u00c2\u00a0 It was so amazing I had to go down into the crevassse a second time.\u00c2\u00a0 This was such a great opportunity for our product team to get out \u00c2\u00a0and use our product on a glacier with professional mountain guides to gain valuable feedback.<\/p>\n
Seriously, this was such an incredible two days and we are so grateful for the IMG team to allow us such an amazing opportunity.\u00c2\u00a0 Next year\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.we summit!<\/p>\n
Thank you for everything and we hope you continue to love and use the Outdoor Research product.<\/p>\n
Thanks,<\/p>\n
