I first met Muki when doing IRATA training at 5th Point Sydney last year. I personally got along with him pretty well as we trained and socialised during the course. He did seem to have a great deal to say about both climbing and rope access, some of which I found informative. I did not realise he was the infamous Bomber Pro until a chat we had a few days into the course.
On assessment day, he got into a long-winded argument with the IRATA assessor about a disputed undone biner. He argued the toss over whether it was unlocked or not instead of just accepting what the assessor saw. This managed to take the heat off everyone else in the assessment. For that I was grateful..
