Just finished an excellent instructor course for our new school climbing wall. Eddy delivered a very well-structured, detailed and engaging course over three days, which has upskilled all instructors and developed our confidence to make the most of this asset. Eddy has great wealth of knowledge and skills which he is able to convey effectively using a range of teaching and assessment methods. We highly recommend his services.

Had a great time learning the basics of trad climbing with Eddy. He's clearly very experienced with all things climbing and with leading sessions. Really enjoyed myself and learnt a lot.

Can not recommend Eddy enough- super knowledgeable, fun and friendly instructor. Learned so much from him just in a day. I loved the personal approach and the fact that he took into consideration every single participants expectations, needs and abilities.

We did an advanced rope rescue techniques course on the cliffs around Swanage.
Eddy's depth of knowledge when it comes to ropework is beyond question which meant the course content was significant and really well explained and demonstrated.
Any questions we had were always answered with a confidence taken from years of practical experience.
A thoroughly enjoyable 2 days on the rock!

Stop thinking about it, just go ahead and book now! Three of us spent a fantastic weekend with Eddy down at Portland, learning the basics of belaying all the way through to our first steps into lead climbing. Eddy is an excellent instructor, truly passionate about climbing and all round great guy.

An awesome day with Eddy learning new rope skills and building on my knowledge and experience outdoor climbing.

Super knowledgeable and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend for all your climbing needs (even arranged sunshine!)
Thanks again for a great day 😎

Can't think of a better way to get the proper introduction on climbing outdoors and top roping. Awesome location and Eddy was amazingly helpful. Looking forward to using my new skills and look forward to booking another course in the future to learn even more!

Indoor to outdoor climbing transition 1-day course: Thank you to Richard Fox for his guidance and support on our first ever outdoors climbing.  Great location (Dancing Ledge), great climbing and Richard's steady encouragement throughout. Really enjoyable, will definitely be back!
