I know you only coached me twice but those six hours made a big difference I think. You gave me the direction I needed. - Jules  Fab news, I came first.  Thanks times a million - Jules's text to me, July 07 after winning the Inter Services Championships

Yesterday’s course was tip top, a comfortable atmosphere, thought out and well paced, there was a wide range of experience on the course which definitely added to the value. Katherine is providing a well organised and naturally progressive course. - Tony, BMC Fundamentals Course, Swindon Climbing Wall

I just wanted to say thank you for making the week so exceptional. It was a treat seeing you getting just as much of a buzz out of our achievements if not more so at times as we did.
I had a really cool time and feel I've walked away with the knowledge to carry on improving.  The fingers are recovering now but I got some strange looks on the plane home trying to open a bottle of water, whincing and moaning. - Gary, Kalymnos

The whole feeling of the day was great - by the time I came to leading harder stuff it felt like the obvious thing to do.  You have a real ability to make people who climb at a much lower grades than yourself feel that their climbing and their challenges and fears are just as important and valid as your own - thank you! - Carol, Stanage

The pace and locations were spot on.  The problems varied and you put us both equally through our paces.  We both got a hell of a lot more out of the day than I thought possible.  Again you gave me a lot to think about and I enjoyed my subsequent grit trip, route reading and trusting my feet for once.  I left feeing a lot more positive about what I can achieve if I believe in myself and just enjoy the climbing. - Amanda, grit technique day

You were one of my 7 belayers but I feel like I learnt so much about the process of training and more specifically for Raindogs from my 2 visits with you!  Thanks - Mike, following his successful redpoint of Raindogs 8a at Malham
