Ewelina Ewa“I joined a weekend course with Ste a few weeks ago. That was absolutely amazing time and experience. First day we were very lucky with a weather and had a rock climbing and second day lashing rain so we decided to go for climbing walls. Ste had a lot of patience and was explaining everything very clear. Great think that basically u don’t have to be worry about a weather as u still can use a walls. I had a wonderful time and met great people. Already climbing at walls near to me at Dublin. “

The whole weekend was filled with adventure and experience. We went to 3 different locations each day where Ste had endless knowledge of the areas and the flora and fauna and history of each spot in depth.”
Aoife Murphy“Can’t say enough good things about Ste. Incredibly knowledgeable, focused on safety, and a really thorough teacher. He structures lessons really well, allowing you enough time to pick up the new skills and practice them under controlled conditions. He also adapted routes to our level during the lesson which was really appreciated. The scenery was beautiful and we got amazing weather. Could not recommend him (and Doolin) more.”
Camper63026610286“Weekend Rockclimbing – Best experience!
Had a brilliant weekend rockclimbing with Ste! He’s an excellent teacher and was great at explaining all the different techniques and took time to get to know the group individually. I learned so much in the two days and would highly recommend this to anyone curious and thinking of giving rockclimbing a go! 🙂 Thanks Ste!”
Alacoque McGovern“Would highly recommend rock-climbing in the Burren. Our instructor Stephen was excellent. He made the experience fun while teaching us about the techniques of climbing in an easy to understand way and was so knowledgeable about the wild flowers of the Burren. An experience worth having!”

Bo Dzierwa“Great experience. We have tried few routes on Ballyryan for a warm up. Each route slightly different, requiring different moves. All that time Ste was there supervising and giving tips on how to move, what to focus on. We got to try climbing in big wall in Ailladie. Ste chose route suitable for our level but still quite challenging. Very patient, no pressure on doing stuff outside your comfort zone.”
Beata K“I’ve just had a weekend course. Amazing time! Ste is not only a proffesional but such an enthusiast in climbing. It was fun, exciting, suprising, challenging and an incradible experience.
Im definitely coming back.”

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.”
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!”
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!”
