Get ready for outdoor season with my new Sport skills workshops! 🔗🪢🤓

Looking to learn outdoor sport skills? Maybe you need a refresher on cleaning anchors before your next trip, or you want to learn how to use a clipstick for those high first bolts?

I'm running workshops looking at different ways to rethread ("clean") anchors, how to use ramshorns/pigtails, common errors and how to solve them, and how to clipstick bolts from the ground.

📆 Thursday 2nd April, 6.30-8.30pm
📍 The Reach Climbing Wall (Woolwich tube / free parking)
💷 £26 (entry to the wall not included)
👥 Just 4 places available per workshop
🎥 Full video links given at the end for you to take away

We will not be climbing during the workshop, everything is done from the ground. Suitable for all!
Relaxed environment = better learning potential ✨

I'm limiting the numbers to maximise individual learning, so book your spot asap.🏃🏻‍♀️

Other dates also available - PM me.

Trad skills workshops in London! 🔩🪢🔗🪛📐🤓

Looking to learn some key trad skills without having to drive 3 hours to the nearest crag? Or want to refresh your knowledge before you head outdoors?

I'm running a series of workshops looking at trad gear placement, testing gear, building solid anchors, key ropework skills, and belaying from the top of the crag, at single pitch venues.

📆 Sunday 29th March 10am (Workshop1) & 12pm (workshop2)
📍 Fairlop Boulder Park (central line or nearby parking)
💷 £18 per workshop, or bundle price £30 when both booked together
👥 6 places available per workshop

We will not be climbing during the workshops, everything is done from the ground. Even though it's fake rock, there's actually loads of places to wiggle gear into or wrap slings round blocks.
Relaxed environment = better learning potential ✨

I'm limiting the numbers to maximise individual learning, so book your spot asap.🏃🏻‍♀️

Other dates also available for private bookings.

How to climb 7a: a short guide 📝

Not the complete list ofc but a result of months of intentional technique practice, tactical learning and mental strengthening.

The result for Matt yesterday? Onsighting multiple 7a's in a session 🫡

PLUS ending up enjoying the ones that looked a bit "hard" or "weird".

It's not about being stronger. It's about being smarter.

If you'd like to enjoy some of these celebratory fist bumps for yourself (whatever your target grade or goal), drop me a DM and see how my coaching can help in your climbing journey.

When the feedback speaks for itself ✨

Places still available on my next training course on 20th February at Font Borough, London.

This is not just about getting qualified as an instructor. It's also about:
😎 being more confident taking friends (or kids of friends) bouldering safely.
🫰🏻 having a real qualification that can land you a job while you study
👩🏻‍🏫 developing your leadership skills that are useful everywhere tbh
🏋🏻‍♀️ getting a better understanding of injury risk, particularly between men & women
🤹🏻‍♀️ making warmups fun! Cos they're necessary so we may as well enjoy it!

This is *not* a course about how hard you can climb. It's suitable for anyone bouldering at v2 or above.

Come join me on my next course:
📅 Friday 20th February 9am
📍 The Font Borough

If you struggle with climbing overhangs and steep walls, this video will help 🔥

This is an intro to the 'twist & flag' technique. Aka twist lock, or side twist.

I break down:
👟 How to choose the right foothold based on the hand you're aiming for
💃🏻 How to optimise your body position
🙋🏻‍♀️ How to get a bit more reach - without moving your feet
🕺🏻The difference in reach potential between twisting versus drop-knee
🤸🏻‍♀️ How to make your climbing flow with transitional movements
🍑 How to make more of your hips
