"Thanks Alan Halewood for a brilliant day! I learnt so much today from more efficient and precise movement to slicker rope work and coping with rising fear. You packed so much into the day! Looking forward to putting it all into practice as soon as possible. Thanks again Al"

About
Al Halewood
Long ago I left a career in the Royal Navy behind to be a climber and soon discovered that I loved teaching and taking others to the mountains.
Now I work on the hill, at the crag and in the wall climbing, mountaineering and walking. Scotland can be a tough place for these activites but I love the challenge and I really enjoy helping others achieve their goals be it a summit, a climb or the ability to go and do it for themself.
I don't do off the shelf courses, a day will always be tailored to you and always with me, not an employee.
The phrase "Climb When Youre Ready" is a contract between the climber and the belayer to look after and support each other. I'll commit to you in the same way when we go out together and try to make sure we enjoy it too!
