What our clients have said:
I first did my SPA training with David and was very impressed by his style of teaching, his courses are laid back and relaxed and you would think you were just out climbing with a friend, and yet i left with so much more skill than i arrived with. Enjoyed it so much i booked my assessment with David, this was done in Wales, based from 'The Office' in the heart of Snowdonia it was a superb two days again, climbing under the eye of David another nice weekend, Very professional and I cant thank him enough, see you soon mate and good luck!

I accompanied my family on a day out with David learning to do multi pitch. He assessed both my husband n son ( he was 12 at the time) before the day at a local wall before agreeing to take them out to learn. David enabled someone with severe vertigo to do his first multi pitch with the 12 yr old both leading, seconding and belaying his Dad. Quite an accomplishment. He was calm clear and reassuring throughout the day encouraging both Father and son to step out of their comfort zone with confidence. A fantastic day!

My mate Jon and I did our SPA (Single Pitch Award) training with David. It was absolutely brilliant. He knows his stuff backwards (and upwards, downwards and sideways!) Everything was put across in a relaxed, easy-to-understand manner. It really doesn't matter whether you're a complete beginner or, like me, with 40 years of bad habits (err, climbing experience). There are lots of good people out there but David really is exceptional. Give him a go (if you can grab a booking). You'll be amazed!

“Ideal for all your training needs. We have used David for SPA training and assessment for years”
Simon Aldridge, Manager Awesome Walls
Initially I did my S.P.A. training with Dave about 5 years ago, when it came to booking an assessment there was no doubt in my mind who I would book with!
Dave run’s both a relaxed and friendly atmosphere on his course’s whilst still emphasizing the fundamentals.
In short his courses are fantastic value, fun to be on and offer climbers of all levels some invaluable and interesting information.
An excellent service!
Barry Roberts Centre Manager at Rock and River Outdoor Pursuits
I recently passed my SPA at Plas y Brenin, after doing a day’s refresher course with David. As someone who has taught and delivered training myself, I was really impressed with David’s teaching skills, his knowledge of the syllabus, enthusiasm for the outdoors and useful top tips for assessment. All of this came to good use on the day as predicted. Thanks David.
