Client Testimonials
“I have recently completed a Rock Climbing Instructor Training course with Steve Hodge Mountaineering. The course was run in the Mourne Mountains and a day in Awesome Walls in Dublin. This was a great opportunity to expand my depth of knowledge of indoor climbing and how these safe and comfortable venues can be used to create confidence and teach new skills.:
Jo Reid
“Just recently successfully completed my RCI training course with Steve at SHMountaineering. The course from start to finish was fantastic. Steve's instructional ability and manner was excellent. Everything was taught and explained with enthusiasm and knowledge and I felt under no pressure at anytime. I am really looking forward to my RCI assessment.”
Gareth Moore
“I completed the RCI training course in Donegal. Steve covered personal and group climbing and the differences in rope work for various systems were discussed and practiced with additional tips on keeping groups safe. Informative, professional and fun course delivered, looking forward to the next one.”
