Coaching & Assessment

Climb Smarter. Train With Purpose.

Every climber hits barriers. Sometimes it's slipping off the same footholds. Sometimes it's feeling stuck at the same grade for months. Often it's not knowing whether you're actually improving or just repeating mistakes.

That's why we built our coaching and assessment programs: to give you clarity, direction, and one-on-one support you need to keep progressing.

For Newer Climbers

Starting out is exciting – but also overwhelming. You're figuring out how to move, how to trust your feet, how to stay tight on the wall. The risk? Locking in bad habits that hold you back for years.

With a dedicated coach at your side, you'll learn clean technique from the start. We'll help you:

  • Build solid movement and footwork foundations
  • Develop body tension and control
  • Understand how to approach problems with confidence

Instead of frustration, you’ll leave each session knowing exactly what to focus on.

For Experienced Climbers

You've put in the hours. You're strong. But the grades aren't moving, and it feels like you've hit a ceiling. Strength alone won't carry you forward – you need technique, strategy, and feedback that goes beyond "just try harder".

Our coaches work with advanced climbers to:

  • Break through plateaus with targeted drills
  • Refine footwork and body positioning on steep terrain and poor holds
  • Tailor training toward outdoor projects or comp-style boulders
  • Analyse your movement on video for technical fine-tuning

Progress stops feeling random – you'll know why you're improving and how to keep pushing.

Start With Assessment

Before coaching, we recommend a climbing assessment: a 2–3 hour one-on-one session that gives you clear insight into your current level, with data and feedback you can use to move forward.

You’ll get:

  • A detailed written report on your strengths and weaknesses
  • Video analysis of your movement patterns
  • Personalised recommendations for training and technique

It's not about ranking you – it's about giving you a clear map of where you stand and what to work on.
