Coaching

Irish John from Swiss - Redpointed 7b

I work as a coach for many different people in numerous walks of life. Everybody has different requirements and as a coach it is my responsibility to provide the solutions to the challenges my clients face. From learning the basic techniques right from the start to advanced athlete development and maintenance programmes, I have the tools to take your climbing forwards and upwards.


My client base runs from one to one clients, small and personal groups to large regular group sessions. Past and current clients include The Ratho Climbing Centre, The Castle Climbing Wall and The Climbing Academy Youth squads, the Inter-services World Championship Team and The British Bouldering Team. With the British Team I work alongside Nic Clement and we actively organise monthly Team Trainings and work closely with the Brittish Boulder team throughout the year.


In the past I worked as a Planet Fear Coach until they stopped running holidays in 2008. I was a regular coach with Planet Fear running group holidays to Kalymnos, Sardinia and Fontainebleau as well as Portland and the Peak District in the UK. In 2012 I will be joining Adrian Berry as 2nd coach on his 'Positive Climbing' holidays.


I run coaching holidays around the world including annual Costa Blanca and Catalunya holidays. Clients can attend our fixed date holidys or get in touch to book you dream trip anywhere in the World. Click here for forthcoming Holidays
