Albert F“Great first outdoor experience!
I went on the 3 day climbing course and it was great. We left on time in the morning and got back to the cars on time every day thanks to good planning from Stephen. Lots of fun and some interesting facts about the environment along the way!”🤩
Trista Huang“I joined 3-day rock climbing course and it was a great experience indeed. Enjoy the course and the scenery. Great place to have rock climbing course. And Stephen is a great teacher and very knowledgeable about the climbing and the area. Will definitely do the course again and would recommend my friend to join too. Thanks.”
Shannon McDonagh“I attended a three day course with Ste on the June bank holiday weekend. Exceeded my expectations completely. As a beginner who had no previous climbing experience, I found this course a great starting point. I’m completely addicted & can’t wait to get out again! Ste was encouraging, well experienced and great craic too which made it more enjoyable! He made all of us super comfortable and we managed to get amazing climbs in over the 3days.”
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.”
darragh mckeon“Can’t recommend it enough. Ste is really professional but also relaxed and fun. I’m so surprised about how much I progressed in 3 days.”
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!”
