Does anyone have any good experiences of London based coaches?

Currently 6c reappointing indoors, been stuck there for a while. Want some coaching to identify priorities and kickstart things a bit.

Might want to consider John Redshaw of Onsight Coaching.

Robin O'Leary is broadly London based too, would be worth an enquiry, I'd thoroughly recommend him.

Robin O'leary would be my first choice in coach's having worked along side him and been coached by him. Well respected by many and an all
Round nice guy!

I've used Jon Redshaw and Gaz Parry - both pretty good - Gaz is obviously focused on bouldering.

Thanks for the suggestions. Undecided between Redshaw and O'Leary. Latter is close to twice as expensive which is food for thought.

getting the odd session from robin oleary at the moment. highly recommended. same sort of grade as you and i reckon what he has done would take me 6 months+ on my own. I have used john redshaw in the past and he is an excellent coach. robin just suits my style of climbing a little better id say

Nelson Taj at Westway got a beginner to onsighting 7c outdoors in a little over a year. May not work for you though...: ) Good luck.

I know of Nelson and I think I know the person you're referring to. She's very good if thinking of same one. That said not sure he's exactly what I'm after right now.
