Our Performance Climbing Coaching Course is designed for climbers who want to take their skills to the next level. With one-to-one instruction and live feedback, you’ll refine movement, improve your technical skills, and develop strategies for climbing harder routes.

You’ll be coached by an experienced Lake District mountain guide, working alongside you, analysing your technique, building confidence, and helping to unlock your full potential.

Whether you’re plateauing on a certain grade or aiming for a big lead project, this course will give you the tools and confidence to make real progress.

There’s no fixed itinerary for this course, each day is bespoke, built entirely around your experience and goals. Your guide will observe your climbing - usually next to you on a static rope - identify areas to improve, coach you through techniques and give you tactics to overcome any weaknesses.

Expect a full day out, combining some great climbing with detailed feedback and tips to help you improve your climbing.

• Techniques to improve lead climbing performance

• Movement skills and identify limiting factors

• Efficient climbing strategies for sustained and technical routes

The course will take place in the Lake District, with the exact location chosen to suit your goals and the best conditions on the day. We’ll use crags and terrain that give the best opportunity to focus on your development and build your skills.

The cost is £250 per day for 1:1 instruction or £300 per day for 1:2.

This course is perfect for climbers who already lead trad or sport routes and want to climb harder or more efficiently.
You should be comfortable leading and belaying, with a solid base of outdoor experience.
