Peak District coaching courses

Most climbers are always looking for ways to improve their performance. Whether you want to move from VS to HVS, onsight your first 7a outside or just enjoy and feel confident with your own abilities a coach is the fastest way to success. A climbing coach allows you to see where your strengths lie and what areas may find challenging. This is a personal process where I would ask questions, perform climbing drills and use video analysis allowing you to discover what areas you need to focus on. As a climbing coach for over 20 years I would deliver a bespoke training package to best suit your needs.

These courses can be delivered in the Peak District or Yorkshire Dales.

Our sessions

The coaching sessions will improve your technical, tactical physical and psychological abilities. These can cover everything from improving footwork to psychological drills to improve the head game. The sessions will be structured with activities designed to improve your climbing ability.

The cost is £200 per day for one to one tuition and £240 for 1 to 2. We would provide all the ropes and climbing equipment, bouldering matts (cams, nuts wires hexs slings etc). You would just need to provide your personal equipment, shoes, harness, chalkbag etc though we have a small supply of these items as well. Contact us for more details.

I can also offer half day coaching at local crags in Yorkshire like Almscliff, Shipley Glen, Ilkley Quarry and Caley for £125 one to one or £140 for 2 people or more.

 Here’s a couple of testimonials from recent coaching days.

I did a two day course day 1 sport, day 2 Trad. The quality of the instruction was really top notch. Very thorough and well explained. I felt completely safe at all times and this increased my confidence. Most importantly they injected some humour in things so it never felt boring or dry.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company to anyone. After I finished my course I completed my first ever Trad lead independently which was a huge milestone!

Thanks everyone! Great job! Ella Morris September 2023

Dan was fantastic in helping me improve my jamming and smearing techniques. The whole day was super slick and pitched perfectly. The drills I learnt have helped my confidence loads on more "traditional" routes. A great day out! -Paddy Finn Crack climbing workshop July 2022

A very informative, well delivered and highly enjoyable course, adding a real depth and breadth of knowledge to my coaching skill base. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to expand their knowledge of coaching outdoor climbing for both trad and sport climbing. Jules Scott June 2021
