During 20+ years of coaching I've helped thousands improve both in performance and enjoyment at all grades, both indoors and on rock; from first trad leads and first training programmes to 8th grade redpoints and V11 boulders.

​

My passion for climbing has seen me gain extensive experience across multiple disciplines since 1995, including first ascents in trad, sport, bouldering and ice climbing. I've trad climbed E7, sport climbed 8a and bouldered V11/8A. If there’s a summit, climb or new grade that inspires you I’ll match your enthusiasm and use my proven coaching approach to make it happen.

 

I've published a bestselling book on climbing technique, and I deliver training for coaches internationally. I have also written coaching skills articles for UKClimbing, Training Beta and the Professional Mountaineer magazine.
