“Training with Alex is the most fulfilling thing I've done in my climbing career. From day one, his deep knowledge, sharp eye for technique, and clear supportive coaching style have helped me improve more than I ever expected.

Alex takes the time to understand your goals, and tailors each session to help you reach them - whether you’re building strength, or overcoming mental blocks on the wall, he challenges you to push your limits in a way that feels encouraging and empowering.

Overall he is an amazing coach and knows how to bring out your best.”

“We’ve had a fantastic experience working with Alex. His coaching has made a huge difference to James’ climbing—technically, physically, and mentally. Alex has built a strong, trusting relationship with James, and it’s clear that he genuinely cares about his development. Under Alex’s guidance, James’ technique, confidence, and problem-solving on the wall have come on in leaps and bounds.

In James’s own words: “He explains things really well, and he gives me a lot of confidence.”

We’re really grateful for the support and commitment Alex brings to every session.”

“My son really enjoys his sessions with Alex. We’ve found that his motivational style has really resonated and my son’s climbing has improved considerably.

He often quotes things that Alex has said (especially when wanting more snacks!) and mentally he’s much more prepared for competitions, even having ended up on the podium twice since our sessions.

Thanks for everything Alex!”

“My son (14 yrs old / Category C) has been training in both bouldering and lead climbing with Alex, while also working closely with him to develop a structured training plan and competition process. The results have been outstanding—but most importantly, the fun and enjoyment have remained at the heart of it all.

Alex brings a rare combination of meticulous attention to detail and creative thinking, which makes every session meaningful and growth-oriented.

His calm presence and emotional intelligence have made him a steady and supportive guide in my son’s journey as a competitive climber—not just a coach, but a true friend.”

“Alex has been coaching our daughter for three years now. He has a kind and patient manner and instinctively knows what to do to get the best out of her.

The sessions are always well organised, enjoyable and offer a challenge at the same time.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alex as a climbing coach.”
