Client review

Absolutely loved our few days with you Andy. You're an amazing climber and an incredible coach, very understated but the breadth of your knowledge is mind blowing. Thanks for sharing some of that knowledge with us bro.

Great day Andy, thanks for all the excellent tuition and plenty of stuff to think about and practice for a long while, really enjoyed that cheers!

Ian B. Improvised Self Rescue. October 2020

Thoroughly enjoyed the course. I thought you pitched the content perfectly and it felt to flow really nicely from our last session. I feel quite comfortable about the theory but it’s the judgement part that’s harder. I particularly liked the bits where you ask us to self direct and then assess. It’s really helpful to go through your thought process and how to critically examine a scenario. I think I’d get a lot out of you asking us to set up anchors in places that you already know are less than ideal and then talk us through how you improvise in those scenarios. Perhaps that’s just where I am in my learning at the moment so maybe not everyone would find that useful. Great days though, looking forward to August and no doubt future courses as well! MC.

Thanks for the course, it was really helpful for me as a refresher with a couple new things thrown in, a great venue to know now too! I thought that the course was engaging and varied, it’s great to have people at different levels able to get as much out of the course as each other.
