What is your coaching philosophy?

A good coach identifies their students’ strengths and helps them develop a style that suits their attributes. Gene’s philosophy on training for climbing is not focused on outcomes; instead, it emphasizes learning movement and developing strong troubleshooting skills.

What can clients expect?

Gene strives to create a positive and encouraging environment. Sessions are structured to help clients get what they want out of climbing.

Coaching is open to all ages, with a focus on beginner and intermediate climbers.
