Take your climbing to the next level with private 1:1 coaching designed to focus on your individual goals. Sessions are tailored around your experience and ability, helping you progress through specific techniques, build confidence, and develop better climbing habits in a supportive indoor environment. Whether you’re just starting out or fine-tuning advanced movement, your coach will help you climb smarter and stronger.
Sessions begin with a discussion about your current climbing level, recent experience, and what you’d like to achieve. Your coach will watch you climb a variety of routes to assess strengths, weaknesses, and overall technique. From there, they’ll guide you through targeted drills and exercises to help improve key areas such as body positioning, balance, and route reading.
Expect constructive, in-the-moment feedback and practical advice that can be applied immediately. Your instructor will explain how to break down routes more effectively, manage fatigue, and refine your approach to both bouldering and roped climbing. Each session is focused entirely on your personal goals, ensuring you leave with clear strategies to continue improving.
After your session, you’ll receive tailored recommendations, including training exercises and SMART goals to track your progress over time. Those opting for the assessment package will also receive structured follow-up sessions to monitor development and adapt techniques as needed.

Each coach is skilled at identifying individual strengths and weaknesses and tailoring sessions to match personal goals.

Yes, as long as you have some basic indoor climbing experience. The coaching can help beginners learn good habits early and understand safe, efficient movement techniques.
If you’re brand new to climbing and haven’t completed an introductory course, your coach can recommend where to start and how best to prepare for one-to-one sessions.
All essential climbing gear is provided, including harnesses, ropes, and belay devices. There’s a limited supply of rock shoes available to borrow, though many climbers prefer to bring their own for comfort and fit.
If you already own personal gear, feel free to use it. Your coach can also give advice on choosing equipment that supports your climbing goals.
An assessment session is designed for climbers who want an in-depth evaluation of their abilities. You’ll work with your coach to set short, medium, and long-term SMART goals, followed by a detailed review of your physical, technical, and psychological skills.
Regular sessions are more focused on ongoing practice and improvement. They’re ideal once you’ve identified your goals and want to focus on targeted development.
Before and during the session, your coach will assess your climbing style, problem-solving approach, and mental focus. Feedback is then adjusted to match your needs, ensuring you work on the right things for your current grade and aspirations.
Because it’s a private session, you’ll move at your own pace. Every exercise, drill, and discussion is specific to your ability and goals.
Yes, there’s a 2:1 coaching option available for two adults who wish to train together. It’s perfect for partners or friends at a similar ability level.

You can book single coaching sessions or choose from multi-session packages that include progress tracking and continuous goal adjustments. These structured blocks are useful for long-term improvement and maintaining motivation.
Between sessions, your coach may recommend drills or training routines to practise independently, ensuring you keep developing between appointments.
