Lead climbing


You have spent time seconding routes but want to learn how to lead. Trad or sport I can help you achieve your goals and get you leading. I can't do this in 1 day though, I would recommend 3 days or more to get the best learning outcomes. 

If you are already leading but struggling to push on to the next grade I can help you break through that barrier. We can look at tactics, technique and any psychological barriers that are stopping you from achieving your potential.

Aid/Big Wall Climbing


I've climbed a few big walls including the Nose on El Capitan in Yosemite and spent time teaching others the art of aid climbing. If you aspire to climb the Nose or other aid routes I can help you fast track your journey by spending a couple of days with you getting you sorted with the basics and ready for your own adventure.
