Lead Climbing Coach

Essentially this is the best of both worlds. Here at Leading Edge we recognise that there is the physical and technical input of the climbing courses with the additional benefit of in-depth tactical and psychological coaching. The Lead Climb Coach course is perfect if you are wanting to improve your leading generally, or perhaps you find yourself stuck on a performance plateau? We will discuss with you all aspects of your climbing and use the insight this gives us along with our observations of your movement and techniques to help you maximise your climbing. At the end of the course your confidence will be as high as your competence.

Lead Climb Coaching

Our years of coaching experience allow us to very quickly get to heart of the matter. Through our deconstruct to reconstruct process we can swiftly help you identify which areas of your climbing would benefit most from some targeted 'physiotherapy', then we crack on with the exercises to strengthen those areas. This has proved time and time again to be a highly successful strategy, we have helped many frustrated lead climbers who know they are not reaching thier potential but cannot figure out why. Let us help you discover what you can be capable of.
