WOMENROCK 2026 recap
What a weekend! So many wonderful scenes of women supporting each other, trying hard, building connections, building confidence, and having the most fun βΊοΈ
This year I was really keen to support more women going through their Mountain Training RCI and RCDI qualifications - having such a strong instructing team meant the participants could try a bigger range of options on Day 2, from bottom-roping and abseiling, to building trad anchors or seconding their first trad climbs. Massive thanks to Ula, Meg, Katie, Sophie, Fay, Tracy, Xin & Eliza π«Άπ»

Learn some new techniques, experience climbing outdoors, try hard/fall off, all the genuine good stuff that comes from being in nature and surrounded by psyched like-minded climbersπ±
Sound good?
You don't even need to know how to belay, so as long as you have your own climbing shoes, and you've been climbing a little while already, you're good (I've got spare harnesses).

"Thank you again. You are a first class coach & mentor" β¨
I don't do big group 'fear of falling' courses. Here's why:
Falling & fear of falling are fundamentally subjective and highly personal topics. There is no one size fits all 'remedy', in my opinion. A method that works for one person might not be appropriate for the next person.
My 1:1 coaching gives
- space to talk, to explore the 'what & why'
- time to rest, to reset & recharge
- opportunity to build trust & confidence
My coaching is guided by you, and what you're showing me and telling me. Falling is skilfully managed and carefully controlled.
If you're ready to see how my coaching can be a game-changer for your climbing, get in touch.
Huge thanks to Andy for the recent review ππ»β¨

Get ready for outdoor season with my new Sport skills workshops! ππͺ’π€
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.
π Thursday 2nd April, 6.30-8.30pm
π The Reach Climbing Wall (Woolwich tube / free parking)
π· Β£26 (entry to the wall not included)
π₯ Just 4 places available per workshop
π₯ 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 β¨
I'm limiting the numbers to maximise individual learning, so book your spot asap.ππ»ββοΈ
Other dates also available - PM me.
