So You Can Climb Harder.

Step-by-step courses to level up your Technique and Climbing IQ so you can send your next grade.

"I am in the midst of the 30-day action plan (5 climbing sessions so far) and sent my project today for the first time!"

Does this sound like you?


You feel overwhelmed by all the climbing info out there.


You're motivated to improve, but aren't sure where to start.


You're muscling up the wall and want to move more gracefully.


Your technique feels off but you can't pinpoint what to fix.


Your climbing sessions lack structure and you feel like you're just winging it.



You're not alone...

After being an athlete for 20 years, I thought climbing would be a piece of cake.

Like most new climbers, I could spam my way up juggy V1s and V2s, but the minute I tried a slightly nuanced V3 I couldn't even establish on the start holds. No matter how much I tried to rely on my strength, my lack of knowledge made climbing a movement mystery.


My first peek at knowledgeable climbing came during a bouldering session with my mentor. He was watching me struggle on a V5 and nonchalantly said:

 

“The first rule of climbing is opposite hand and foot”


The advice was simple yet effective, and I was startled at how it made an immediate difference in my climbing. The V5 that was stumping me became a cakewalk. Other boulders that previously felt like puzzles suddenly started to make sense.

 

This one bit of knowledge, causally tossed at me like a buoy, had transformed into an iceberg of foundation I could rely on. It felt like I had just unlocked a new skill.


I knew I couldn't continue down the path with my eyes closed. That brief glimpse showed me what a small bit of proper knowledge could do for my climbing.


I was hungry for more.

 

I realized that while I didn’t know that much about climbing, I knew a lot about movement. There were so many valuable insights I had accumulated over the years as an athlete. I just needed to figure out how to translate those lessons to climbing.

 

I started brainstorming ideas. The climbing gym became my lab and I was the test subject.


After rigorous experimenting, I discovered that there was a huge overlap in application between movement principles and climbing. At first these started off as broader lessons on mindset and attitude. Then they developed into systems, and later were refined into direct climbing cues.

 

The pattern recognition I developed from my years shooting pool became the model with which I used for route reading.

 

The scaling method I used for learning a complex move in acrobatics was directly applicable to learning a hard move on a boulder problem.

 

The cues of removing slack and creating torque I acquired from weightlifting became the basis for teaching how to engage the body and create tension on the wall.

 

Bit by bit, I was unraveling the mystery of climbing through the key lessons I had already learned as an athlete.


My discoveries impacted others as well.

 

As my YouTube presence grew, more and more people started coming up to me at the gym to tell me that they learned how to climb from my videos. Several of them climb stronger than me now.

 

Of the athletes I coached:

 

Over a dozen went on to compete at Youth Nationals yearly.

One became National Champion in 2024. She’s now on Team USA.

Several qualified for Open Nationals, making semi-finals and finals. They will be the future climbers of Team USA.


Now you can access my knowledge and level up your own climbing.

 

I’ve built a program that will teach you everything I’ve tested and learned that transformed me from a clueless climber to coaching elite athletes. You don’t need to spend years accumulating bits of knowledge. All the lessons are here.

"The content is outstanding; it is clear, organized, and provides the framework I need to lay the foundation for making the most of each session."

Siawn is far more precise and detailed in your explanations than other coaches, making it much easier to learn. Other Coaches are often too instinctive, rather than analytic, in their explanations.

P

Pip

I love Siawn's coaching. I've been learning a lot from him on YouTube so I knew what I was getting into here. I like the fact that the training content is progressive. I love the breakdown of the pro climbers and seeing the application of counter pressure and such.
