No matter who you are; coaching can help accelerate your climbing and day to day life with an experienced professionals perspective and tailored advice.

Coaching sessions are available for anyone, any age, ability, background or identity. We have experience coaching new climbers through to high performance athletes. We coach across a wide spread of disciplines both indoors and out.

Danielle and Daniel Griffith are highly qualified and renowned North Wales/Cheshire/North West based climbing coaches who also travel to climbing walls and crags across the UK.

These sessions are bespoke to an individual’s goals and needs for those who are committed to improving their climbing performance.

They can include comprehensive profiling data and analysis, training and development programmes.

For best results; multiple sessions are recommended and will be carefully designed to help you achieve your goals.

Coaching will help you target and train areas needing improvement, such as: movement technique, tactics, psychological, fitness and strength.

E.g. footwork, centre of gravity, hip positioning, route reading, efficiency of movement, dynamic movement, twisting, coordination, etc…

Discussions beforehand can help you decide what type of session you might want or need.

These training courses are part of the Mountain Training Coaching pathway and are appropriate for anyone who instructs or coaches any kind of group in a climbing or mountaineering environment. These courses are run indoors but can be ideal for anyone who instructs outdoors too and has transferable learning and skills for other sports. This is a great place to start if you have no formal coaching or instructing experience or qualifications.

These courses are valuable CPD and are often revisited by highly experienced coaches and instructors with many years working in the industry. The backgrounds and expertise within the group make each course a unique learning experience, and people often choose to book these courses multiple times throughout their careers.

These courses are also great for anyone wanting to understand and improve their own personal climbing, or those who enjoy informal coaching.

As well as for parents who want to support their children, and learn about life long participation development, youth physical development and much more.

The courses are often a great place to start for youth climbers (14+) thinking about a coaching or teaching career or wanting to improve their climbing and confidence.
