What I Offer

Learn to Lead (Trad/Sport)

Develop the skills and judgment to lead safely outdoors. We'll cover gear placement, route reading, risk management, and building your confidence on real rock.

Scrambling (Grades 1–3)

Explore classic scrambles with expert guidance. Learn movement techniques, route finding, and when and how to use a rope in exposed terrain.

Learn to Multi-pitch

Master the systems and skills for multi-pitch climbing: efficient belay changeovers, rope management, communication, and safe descent strategies.

Coaching

Tailored sessions to improve technique, movement efficiency, or mental approach. Whether you're stuck at a grade or want to climb with more ease, we'll work on what matters most to you.

Self-rescue

Learn essential problem-solving skills for when things don't go to plan: escaping the belay, assisted and unassisted hoists, passing knots, and lowering systems.

Refresher days (ML / climbing instruction skills)

Keep your skills sharp or prepare for revalidation. Practical, focused sessions covering navigation, group management, emergency procedures, or technical climbing systems.
