About Me

I started climbing in 2009 and over the past 15 years I have travelled around the world bouldering and sport climbing

Since stepping into the coaching world in 2018, I've worked with a range of climbers — from beginners to athletes competing at national level. In 2022, I earned my Development Coach Certification, and I continue to coach Team GB athletes to this day.

In my own climbing, I've bouldered up to 7C+/V10, redpointed 8a, and onsighted over 100 routes in the 7th grade. Whether on rock or in the gym, I'm always psyched to share what I have learned and help others grow as climbers.

  • Over the past two and a half years, Cris has helped me push my climbing to levels I didn't think possible. With his guidance, I've progressed to flashing V7s, and all aspects of my climbing—physical, technical, and mental—have improved dramatically.

  • I started my first of several training plans with Cris 3 years ago, focused on outdoor sport climbing. Just 6 weeks into the first one, I did my hardest onsight, and have gone up several redpoint grades since. More importantly, working with Cris has kept me very psyched, and the consistency has stopped me having recurring shoulder injuries I had in the past.

  • I have completed a number of training plans with Cris and can say with certainty that it has been an absolute game-changer for my climbing. The personalised training plans that Cris has created for me were not only effective and challenging, but also genuinely enjoyable to follow. If you're looking for a coach who truly understands climbing and how to help you level up in a sustainable and motivating way, I cannot recommend Cris highly enough.
