🧭 What to Expect

The programme starts with a detailed 2-hour assessment session where your current climbing ability, movement patterns and goals are reviewed. This session helps identify key areas to focus on and forms the basis of your personalised 12-week plan. You’ll leave this stage with a clear direction for your training.

Over the following weeks, you’ll work through a structured plan designed around your climbing and available time. This includes targeted exercises, session guidance and progression points to help you develop consistently. Support is provided throughout, allowing you to check in, ask questions and adjust the plan where needed.

A follow-up coaching session is included to review progress, refine technique and adjust your focus for the remainder of the programme. Additional coaching sessions can also be added if required to support further development or address specific areas in more detail.

📍 Location

The assessment and coaching sessions can take place indoors at climbing walls across the West Midlands or outdoors in the Peak District, depending on your goals. Indoor venues are selected based on the type of training required, while outdoor sessions are commonly based around areas such as The Roaches and Stanage Edge.

The training plan itself is designed to be flexible, allowing you to train at your local wall or outdoor crag where appropriate. This makes it suitable for climbers who want structured development while fitting sessions around their own schedule and location.

✅ Prerequisites

There is no minimum climbing level required to join the programme, and it is suitable for both newer climbers and those with more experience. The plan is tailored to your current ability and adjusted as you progress through the 12 weeks.

For anyone under 18, an adult must be present during any in-person coaching sessions. This ensures appropriate supervision and support throughout the programme.

⭐ Why Choose Us

Coaching is delivered by a qualified climbing coach with over 10 years of experience working with a wide range of abilities. The focus is on structured, practical development that helps climbers make steady and measurable progress over time.

As a small family-run setup, the programme is kept personal and adaptable. Support is ongoing throughout the 12 weeks, ensuring you are guided, monitored and adjusted as needed rather than left to follow a generic plan.
