Neil’s coaching style is to make training feel simple, intuitive and FUN. His methods are highly effective and he is renowned for being a stickler for training safety. Neil field-tests all his methodology on the coal-face of hard climbing and draws on the most up-to-date science and research. He also uses a data-driven benchmarking system to influence his hangboarding routines. Neil has been the training correspondent for Climbing magazine in the USA, Klettern in Germany, UKC.com and various magazines in the UK including Climber and High.

Neil has been at the cutting edge of the British climbing scene for over two decades, performing at a high standard in disciplines ranging from sport climbing to deep water soloing, winter and traditional climbing. Neil’s long list of hard first ascents around the globe are documented here in his new routes log. His 2012 Pembroke route Olympiad, remains the hardest Deep Water Solo in Britain. In his late 40s and early 50s as a father of two, Neil climbed the hardest trad route of his career, Lexicon E11 7a in the Lake District and also the two hardest sport routes with first ascents of Sabotage 8c+ at Malham and Freakshow 8c at Kilnsey. Neil puts it all down to motivation and making every second of his training count.

Neil is sponsored by La Sportiva, Petzl, Osprey Europe and Kendal Wall / London Climbing Centres
