Ciaran McCabe“Very professional teaching. Knew exactly how much to push me, all the way from guiding my first super insecure moves on a wall, through proper rock climbing to learning essential climbing skills. While making it fun all along. Always ensured safety was prioritised! Fair warning, Stephens absolute passion for climbing has a tendency rub off on people – you might end up addicted to climbing!”
Natacha Muderspach“The enthusiasm and energy that Stephen brings to climbing is beyond infectious. Without doubt he has the rare ability to make everyone a better climber through a great combination of professional ability AND relentless positivity. From personal experience over the years I can say that Stephen’s skills can cater for everything from the very young all the way to those of more advanced years. Highly recommended.”
Ciara O’Flaherty“I would highly recommend Steve as a climbing coach. As someone who came to climbing nervous and with a fear of heights, I found his coaching style fantastic. He explains how to move on the wall simply, and gives lots of helpful tips and techniques to make it all easier. He’s knowledgeable, patient, encouraging and makes it fun ,whatever level you’re starting at. I had heaps of fun on the wall and cant wait to climb again.”
Sinead Noonan“My cousin and I had an amazing day rock climbing in the Burren with our guide Ste. He was so helpful and gave us great instruction and guidance throughout the day! We really enjoyed the day and would highly recommend Ste as a guide! Already looking forward to our next rock climbing adventure in the stunning surrounding of the Burren!”
