Coaching Holidays

Kalymnos, Greece 

Located in the heart of the Aegean Sea, Kalymnos is an idyllic island complete with numerous limestone crags and high quality routes – the perfect location for a perfect climbing holiday! Despite the chilled-out atmosphere on the island, the crags are bustling hives of climbing activity and attract motivated climbers from all over the world. Surrounded by deep blue ocean and with the island of Telendos in the backdrop, Kalymnos is truly a climber's paradise.

"There is everything here, whether you are climbing in the F5s or F9s... sheer volume of high quality routes at every grade and at every crag!" Robbie

"My first trip to Kalymnos was almost 9 years ago when I was aged 11. I was truly in awe of the setting and the climbing, and it continues to be an inspirational climbing location for me." Natalie

Whether you are a sport climbing virgin or a seasoned rock-god(dess), this coaching holiday aims to help you improve your on-sighting and redpointing game – building on your confidence and experience to help you achieve your goals whilst most importantly of all – having fun!

I am running two trips in 2012, one in conjunction with Vertigo Outdoors and another with MCofS.

Vertigo Outdoors is an Irish based instructing/coaching/guiding company run by a friend of my, Rob Davies. It's a fantastic operation they run in Dublin which involves everything from coaching performance rock climbers to taking budding young climbers into the hills for their first experiences of climbing outdoors. This years trip with them will run from the 1st - 7th October and is aimed at climbers who are already comfortable leaders and want a taste of climbing on real rock with the help of professional coaches.

The MCofS trip is aimed at young climbers who are at or near GB Team standard and who want to test their already honed indoor skills on real rock with the help of top elite level coaches. MCofS (Mountaineering Council of Scotland) run trips like these for young climbers every year and the Kalymnos trip this October (13th - 22nd) is set to be another big success. With myself and Jonathan Stocking (British Champion and International level competitor) coaching, everyone involved should learn loads!
