“Alexander is one of those extremely rare coaches who possesses the full range of required skills. On one hand he is an incredibly accomplished athlete (regarded as one of the worlds strongest by those in-the-know), yet on the other he has the ability to relate to climbers who are operating at more modest grades and understand their needs. He has a vast bank of technical knowledge and coaching experience and specialises in helping others to get strong and improve their technique and mindset. But above all, Alexander has a talent for inspiring and motivating. When I was looking for a coach to help me achieve my ultimate goal of climbing Lexicon E11 (one of the hardest trad routes in the world), he was my first and only choice. You will always come away from a coaching session with Alexander armed with new ideas and feeling energised and ready to raise your game. I can’t recommend his services highly enough.”
