6 Week Beginner Course

“I really enjoyed the 6 week course in the Burren with Ste. It was my first time climbing with ropes and outdoors and Ste’s instruction really put me at ease. Each session was the highlight of my week and luckily we had incredible weather (most weeks), the Burren is an amazing place to climb. The course definitely improved my climbing ability and skills thanks to Ste’s experienced guidance.”

​

“I first signed up for 6 weeks outdoor climbing lessons with Steven at irish mountaineering academy. This was based in Fanore. We did climbs in ballyryan and Ailladie sea cliffs. Really lovely area to be… These routes ranged from beginner climbs to challenging. It was brilliant I looked forward to every week. Overall Steven was a great instructor and really helped me get a good foundation for climbing. Recommend to anyone wanting to start learning or just get a taste of what climbing is about.”​

​

“I highly recommend booking in with Steven for some climbing, whether you are brand new to the sport or looking to improve Ste caters for both. I signed up for the 6 week outdoor climbing course knowing I was heading to the Alps for some mixed climbing routes at the end of July. This course gave me great confidence and Ste is a brilliant instructor keeping safety at the forefront. He has an unbelievable knowledge of the Burren area as well as the local Flora. “​

​

“Ste was such an enthusiastic and supportive leader from the first to last minute. He knows how to make a beginner feel confident and how to push them little further outside their comfort zone, while having safety and enjoyment at the forefront at all times. We had lots of variety in location and tried out lots of cool routes. All with the incredible setting of the Burren and views of the Aran Islands and Galway Bay in the distance as you hang from the top. The 6-week outdoor course is a not-to-miss experience!”

​

“Did the 6 week Introduction to Rock Climbing course with Ste recently. Really recommend to anyone curious about getting into climbing. Learned loads and I loved how we got to visit three different climbing locations over the six weeks. Excited to continue with the sport now. Thanks Ste for a very enjoyable course!”

​

“Had a great time with Ste. He’s very patient and very thorough in teaching us the basics of rock climbing, especially on safety. Will definitely be back for more rock climbing education. I wish I live closer so I can take the 6-week course!”

“I did Ste’s 6-week climbing course in July 2022 and loved every bit of it. The location is stunning in the Burren overlooking the Atlantic, we had the best gang I could imagine and a perfect mix of climbs and challenges including sea cliffs and bouldering in places you’d never discover without a guide. Ste is an excellent teacher…you always feel safe and he has the right mix of coaching…technical skill and confidence building, with great fun at the same time, he’s brilliant.”

​

“I completed a 6 week outdoor climbing course with Ste in April / May 2023. Really enjoyed the course. Ste creates a calm, relaxed and fun environment to learn in. Lots of variety in the routes and locations from week to week. Ste is happy to share knowledge on all aspects of climbing as well as interesting people in the environments and landscapes they are in. Would definitely recommend this course”

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.”​

​

“Ste is a phenomenal teacher, with so much encouragement and patience shown towards everyone and every ability! I quickly learned how social and fun climbing can be, alongside the fact that climbing really has begun to change my mindset when approaching challenges of every kind. I really surprised myself and enjoyed it so much, I’m booked in for another 6 week climbing course! ⭐️ Thanks again Ste!”​

​

“The 6 week climbing course is a fantastic way to learn and improve climbing skills. I was hooked after the first week. Ste is an excellent instructor, knowledgeable and friendly. He sets up every participant for success regardless of ability, ensuring that safety is paramount. You learn belaying, different climbing techniques to climb efficiently and experience both trad and bouldering. Ste’s energy, passion for climbing and knowledge of the local area is infectious.”​

​

“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.”​

​

“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!”
