Climbing is an incredibly complex task, and can be equally complex to teach. Siawn is such an awesome coach to work with, not only for his personality, but he is also extremely attentive to movement detail and can communicate body patterns very well.

Siawn is great at explaining the mechanics of climbing movement in a way that is easily understood and quickly applicable to your climbing. He is also good at explaining climbing in many different ways in order to work with many different types of people, he can be analytical or visual depending on your learning style.

Youth National Champion


One of Siawn’s greatest traits as a coach is that he makes me do exercises correctly instead of doing them the easy way. I learn the proper technique through personalized workouts that he makes progressively harder, which helps me to see results. He breaks down hard goals into simple-step workouts so that I always feel like I am always motivated and working up to a hard goal.

Former Team USA


Siawn's great at analyzing the way people move and being able to see what technique, position, or type of training would best help them to improve or achieve a certain climbing goal such as getting through a tricky crux or learning a better way to establish specific hold types. Also great at really seeing how a route should be climbed from the ground.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Library different from the YouTube channel?

Structure

The Library is designed as a comprehensive learning platform. All content is curated to fit within an organized structure, with each video acting as a building block that is directly connected to others in its category.

 

Depth

The content in the Library goes much more in depth on topics than what is released on YouTube. The format for social media has drastically different parameters, so I’ve saved all the detailed nerdy stuff for Library members who are serious about learning.

How often does new content get added?

Our library gets updated monthly. Expect an average of 3 new videos per month.
