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.
