A little about me
Hello, I'm Simon.
I love climbing. Over the last 30 years, it's taken me on a wild journey – from the Mourne Mountains of Northern Ireland to the big walls of Yosemite, the limestone cliffs of Spain and the glaciers of Alaska.
In the last 15 years, I've worked with hundreds of climbers from around the world, from beginners to some of the world's best, across bouldering, trad climbing, sport climbing, big-wall climbing and alpine climbing.
My passion is helping people develop their climbing skills, explore new challenges and get more out of their climbing experience.
I spent over a decade living in California, where I became a Certified Rock Guide through the American Mountain Guides Association (AMGA). Now based back home on the North Coast of Ireland, I offer coaching, guiding and mentorship to climbers of all experience levels.
