The Bouldering Fundamentals Academy: 4 Weeks to Stronger, Smarter Climbing

£200.00

Stop just "pulling harder." Start climbing smarter.

You’ve mastered the basics, but now you’re hitting a wall (literally). You can send V2s, but V3/V4 feels impossible. You get pumped too quickly, or you just don't know how to read the harder problems.

Welcome to the Bouldering Fundamentals Academy.

This is not a drop-in session. This is a structured, 4-week coaching programme designed to transform your climbing. Over four consecutive weeks, you will train with the same small group and the same expert coach to break down your technique and rebuild it stronger.

We cover everything from precise footwork and energy conservation to the "dark arts" of dynamic movement and reading complex routes.

Why join the Academy?

  • Structured Progression: Each week builds on the last, giving you a complete toolkit of skills.

  • The "Tribe": You’ll train with the same crew every week. It’s the perfect way to meet belay partners and friends.

  • Expert Eyes: 4 weeks of continuous feedback from a qualified coach allows us to fix habits you didn't know you had.
