Dan Morley's Climb Gear & Expert Recommendations
Rock Climbing Guide
Gambrills, MDBe kind to yourself and others!
My favorite activities as an outdoorsperson are rock climbing, ice climbing, skiing, paddling, and trail running--with my passions being trad climbing and leading ice. Working as an AMGA Single Pitch Instructor allows me to share my skills and experience with folks new to climbing and those looking to move to the next level. If you've ever climbed with me or taken one of my courses, you know I love talking about gear and love helping people find the right gear for their future endeavors!
