What Our Visitors Say

“Myself and a friend had a wonderful day climbing at Malinhead. Bren was very professional and made us feel very safe. ....and for a beginner who was about to hang off a rock face this was vitally important!
Bren allowed us to naturally develop our confidence by educating us about the rock and climbing. He allowed us to time to rest and evaluate on each climb and try different routes. He choose routes suitable to our skills and persuaded us to challenge ourselves so that we made progression.
I would highly recommend Bren. The day out was well worth the money and I would definitely do this activity again. We both felt that we made a lot of progress due to our excellent coach!”
