Professional Coaching, Guiding & Tuition, Tailored to You
Just starting out climbing, or have 40+ years of experience?!
Fancy guided classic trad climbs, working towards instructor qualifications, or want to push your grade?
I work with beginners through to experts, from those that seek the physical challenge or really want to develop their skills and performance, to those who enjoy time with others and the therapeutic aspect of the outdoors. Climbing is a fantastic, varied activity in so many ways, and I am passionate about sharing that joy with others.

During guided climbing days I'll give you a tour of some of the best Lake District climbs, or help you tick off those dream trad routes.
