Monsterclimbs is the trading style of Ali Taylor, MIA, B’Ed. With 30 years of experience, she provides climbing instruction throughout the UK and abroad. Based in Gloucestershire with easy access to the Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley, her aim is to devise courses to suit individuals and groups, novice and experienced climbers, in a safe and controlled environment, to develop skill and confidence and have fun along the way.
Monsterclimbs aim to teach you to become independent climbers based on experience, training and continued professional development.
Monsterclimbs display the AMI logo – Association of Mountaineering Instructors, http://t.tahdah.co/r/Mjc2Nzgw which means instructors are not only highly qualified and experienced to teach the following mountaineering activities – but are insured to do so. Always choose an Instructor who is a member of AMI.
