Steve McClure Costa Masterclass Feb 08

Scroll Down for Climb Comp Winner....

6 guys arrived Saturday with one aim - to climb harder! Did they do it?

Important to stretch first!

Sam went to visit them on day three to check progress, " I have improved loads in just 2 days" said Simon Barby aged 18 "and I´m loving it".


Blue skies, perfect temps, what more could you ask for!

Steve McClure ran up 3 8as onsite at Echo One to show the boys how it is done! Rich Mayfield followed him, but thought that showing the boys how to fall off is just as important!

After 5 days of intense but enjoyable climbing the whole group gave me a massive thumbs up. "The mix of Steve and Rich made for an amazing combination of skills" said Matt.

Steve shows the boys how its done!

And Tom said "I would just like to say thanks for such an excellent few days. The climbing was awesome and we were all really impressed by the relaxed atmosphere at the Orange House. Having Steve with us was an incredible bonus!"

So all in all a great week was had by all........
