Hi everyone! Just a little update as to what’s been going on with Squirrel Climbing recently!
I’ve been busy as usual during term time teaching some awesome kids NICAS level one and two at Plas Madoc. Enjoy your summer holidays guys! As well as plenty of private instructing too.
I have been out climbing myself a lot too! As well as enjoying a new weight loss regime so you’ll all enjoy the benefits of a slimmer stronger instructor!! Here are some pictures of various climbing adventures I’ve had so far!
Remember if you want to have a go at indoor climbing please get in touch

Haven’t done this in a very long time!!! No where near as bad as I thought I’d be given the fact it’s over 4 years since I rode here!!

I love gritstone climbing! Also I love the fact I lead a severe for the first time since June 2024(when I fell and hurt my ankle) the stars aligned and I push through a huge mental barrier to complete this. Thank you to .llew.h for the belays and encouragement!!

So, new approach to training this week. Specific weight training and bouldering. Using to help my calorie intake too! Week one completed, feeling tired but good!
