A one to one session can often be all it takes to get you focussed and motivated to achieve your goals. You may spend time reading training articles and books or simply climb outside all the time, but you still aren't progressing in the way you want to be. Your friends can give their 'best advice' but you're never too sure. Why not just bite the bullet and get some honest, expert advice. Katherine is based in Sheffield and her nearest crags are the Peak and for walls, the Edge, Climbing Works and Foundry. These venues provide an excellent basis for coaching but she is willing to travel to you and your wall or crag.

 | Learn to climb - you may have dabbled a bit, climbed a couple of times with a friend, or always wanted to start. This could be your chance to fast track the faffing and learn from an expert. Learn the key basics of good footwork and movement, get to grips with gear, ropes and knots, setting up top ropes and finally leading climbs, being completely self sufficient at the crag. Coaching can be tailored to your stage in climbing and you may find learning with a friend beneficial. Book now | |
 | Bouldering and Technique - bouldering is the one and only way to work on your technique. Being half way up a route, 3ft above your gear unsure of how to climb steep rock isn't the best place to deal with the problem. These sessions can take place either indoors or out. Katherine has a great knowledge of the Peak District, finding you the best problems to work on the areas you want to improve. Book now

 | Single Pitch Peak trad (only on a 1:2 ratio basis) - The Peak District is the perfect place to get to grips with your trad in a non-intimidating environment. There are plenty of well protected routes. Katherine can help you use the right tactics to give yourself the best chances including warming up, placing the right gear in the right places, route reading and pace. Do you find yourself spending more time fiddling with gear than climbing? Do you just resort to a top rope because leading seems too much of a pain? Get it sorted out with some coaching. This has to be on a 1:2 basis so that Katherine can stay 'out of the system'. You may wish to do this with a friend or bring a friend along to belay. Book now | |

This could be done indoors or out. Book now
