Climbing at your limit and pushing your grade requires time, effort and a fair bit of dedication. Performance climbing coaching is designed to help make it all a bit easier with tuition from one on the UK's best female climbers.

This is a course of intensive coaching for established climbers who want to break through a grade barrier, want to be more confident on the lead or are looking for expert guidance on other aspects of your personal climbing. These barriers are often difficult to overcome without advice and help from a more experienced climber.

The coaching will concentrate on the end result of making you feel more confident in your climbing abilities as this is a key element in you acheiving your personal goals. We will look at technique, movement and body position, but more than that we will look at the overall combination to help you become a more complete climber who believes in their ability. Thus when you stand below your next project you have the belief that you can send it .

Silvia is highly skilled at identifying the factors which may be holding people back and finding strategies to overcome these. The coaching session will give you a new viewpoint on your strengths and weaknesses.

Silvia is well qualified for coaching clients maximise their potential. She studied for 5 years to gain a Sports Science/PE degree in Buenos Aires whilst simultaneously becoming South American climbing champion. She was invited to Europe to represent South America in the 'Climb for the World' extravaganza and after climbing the North face of the Eiger for the TV program stayed in Europe, climbing routes up to 8a+ before a ground fall put her in hospital for six months. The accident left her with nerve damage and movement restrictions that meant she had to learn to climb again with a totally different technique; after a lot of hard work she bounced back to win the British Climbing Championships and has also led E6, flashed 7c and redpointed 8b.

We will ask for detailed information about your current climbing performance and then plan an appropriate coaching program designed to help you improve specific areas of weakness. We will also suggest mental approaches and training strategies that will help you to achieve your personal goals.
