It’d be ace to have you along next year! I’ve got the dates up for the first half of 2025 now, with plenty of courses already having bookings - get in touch to avoid missing out! 💥

Of all the places I’ve run courses throughout the UK, I can honestly say Pembrokeshire is the best location to deliver them in!
The venues I use provide a diverse range of learning opportunities that enable me to deliver tonnes of top quality content, fully practical and with maximum activity…
Often with nice weather - and not to mention some of the best climbing around! 👌

All courses run by me (Stu!) in an open, relaxed, fun and student centred setting…

Doing a pre-assessment refresher is SUCH a good idea, to get some direct input from an RCI course director as to where you’re at, what’s going well and what could be developed… There is ALWAYS something to learn, and it streamlines the assessment process for many people, meaning less stress and a better performance!

Great to be out with a top team in lovely weather! 👌

More @mtntraining Rock Climbing Instructor refresher days will be available from next Spring after the Winter!

      Our day with Stu did not disappoint - infact, it surpassed our expectations. As a mother of (very talkative - sorry Stu) 10 and 13 year old boys, I felt absolutely confident in letting him release my children down a cliff (followed by me and my husband).

      On a more serious note, Stu seems to be incredibly knowledgeable about his subject and is a great teacher - he has that ability to teach you without you feeling that you are being taught, he is really calm and creates an atmosphere of quiet confidence.

      We hope to have another day out with him next year and are all looking forward to it already!

Stu yet again knew exactly where to go to make our approach to the summit more interesting. I got to lead some parts of the route as Stu recognised my capabilities very quickly and we both got to enjoy another summit and another outstanding day in the mountains! When I was driving to Glencoe on Friday I was driving for 1:1 ratio tailored winter mountaineering course, but Stu made me feel like climbing with a friend! Thanks for that. He’s super friendly and super knowledgeable. If you are looking for anything from intro to rock climbing to prep for a big exp Stu is your guy.
