The Squad will provide opportunity for those climbers with the desire and commitment to improve their climbing performance and compete on a regular basis.

The Programme will start in March 2024 with the initial 10 month phase covering 200 hours of coached sessions that cover:

• Climbing Coaching
• Strength & Conditioning
• Athlete Profiling
• Individual training plans and ongoing monitoring
• Coaching support at competitions

And of course, the all-important Squad Kit!

To ensure the programme is as accessible as possible (despite the extensive costs associated with the level of coaching input & administration required), The Font will be subsidising the value by approximately 65%, reducing the cost to each member to approximately £2200 per member.

• Smithie – Head Coach
• James Goodey – Performance Coach
• Kostas Paschalis – Performance Coach
• Matt Varela Christie – Head Setter & Coach
