How To Climb Harder

So the end is insight for the 2nd Edition of North Wales Climbs, the book is written by SMG owner Mark Reeves. Writing it has lead me to so many new crags and routes (over 2000 and double that of the last edition). This will free up my time to focus more on coaching and guiding rock climbing in North Wales and beyond.

So for a little while I am no longer taking bookings for coaching and instruction. However I am spending a few short sessions a week with a guy called Dale on his live stream. Having done two now, I think I get a feel for where it is going.

AT the moment I act as a coach so if you are a climber looking to improve technique or a coach looking for some ideas to improve people performance then it might be worth finding us and viewing live as you can ask climbing performance related questions then we have the perfect opportunity to answer those questions with some examples of what you can do on the wall.

To fit around the wall opening times we are on 8am - 10am Wednesday and Friday and 7Pm to 9pm Sat.

Below is an example off the last show, after a short while trying to speed climb we got on the boulders and did some work on dales body position. Trying to get him to face more side on.
