We’ve had a super fun year with lots of RCI & RC We’ve had a super fun year with lots of RCI & RCDI courses, sharing them with psyched and experienced climbers - here’s a little reel of some of the action! 🧗‍♂️ 🙌
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!

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.

      It was easy to book and Stu was helpful with answering any questions we had. He was a great teacher with a LOT of experience, who took the time to talk us through everything. We felt safe and like he couldn't do enough to help us.

For two kids aged 6 and 9 it was perfect. We did bouldering, climbing, abseiling and learnt lots about the area in the meantime.

      Stu was patient with us, giving us time for ‘breathers’ if anyone started worrying when half way up a climb. Then cajoled us on. We all achieved way forward than I thought we would and loved it. I’ll be booking again...although having read the reviews I now fancy the Glen Coe experience .... I’ll do you a line later Stu

      Thanks for an epic afternoon.

      star rating  I read a review about Stu and The Climbing Company a couple of years ago and it stuck with me so when we finally got to thinking about a holiday... read more in Wales, I contacted Stu and we basically organised our holiday around his availability. No pressure!

      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!

    • star rating  Sunny climbing at Port Clais  - Great day with Stu. Very flexible and helpful. We had loads of fun and some challenges. Sneaked in a bit of trad with some coaching at the end. Learned some... read more new skills and remembered some old ones! I have a feeling that whatever you require from your climbing trip, the Climbing Company can probably find the spot for you.
