Who it’s for

Coaching that starts with you

Group classes are great, but sometimes you want an expert eye on you alone. In a private session your coach watches you climb, finds the one or two things that will make the biggest difference, and works on them with you.

It suits complete beginners who want to move quickly, experienced climbers who’ve plateaued, parents and children learning together, and anyone working on a specific goal.

Technique

Footwork, body position, reading routes and efficient movement.

Confidence

Overcoming fear of heights or falling, one manageable step at a time.

Rope skills

Belaying, lead climbing, clipping and lowering with feedback.

Training

Warm-ups, finger and shoulder care, and structuring your sessions.

    Watch

    You climb a few things while your coach observes. No pressure: it’s about finding what to work on.

  3. 03

    Work

    Targeted drills and routes for one or two themes, with feedback after every attempt.

  4. 04

    Take away

    You leave with a short summary of what to practise, and ideas for your next sessions.
