Dialing In Your Systems // Top Managed Sites // Mt. Woodson
When you have clients/friends like these guys it makes your days out that much more rewarding. Brothers Mark and Matt Altman spent the better half of the day learning top site managed systems, mock leading with gear and climbing some really good crack. Always fulfilling to witness people breaking barriers and growing as individuals.
