Affiliations

Any outdoor company will need kit and support from other sectors of the industry. I’m thrilled to say Prowess Coaching is supported by the following fantastic companies:

Retail Opportunities:
HUKU Balance Boards

I’m a MASSIVE fan of HUKU Balance boards; to the point where I have now developed an affiliation! The HUKU Original, Corefit and Ulu-Lar boards are all available to try in the Prowess Classroom, in the Beacon in North Wales although often, they’ll appear during sessions and coach education courses.

For more information on these boards, please click here. To order, or to view the full range of products available from HUKU, please click here.

Retail Opportunities: Cordee

Clients of Prowess are entitled to purchase a wide selection of climbing maps, instructional books and guidebooks for all over the world as part of their course. This allows us to work with you to select the right guide for your trip or training, to stay fresh from injury or to keep you motivated during down time.

For a view of the titles available, please click here. To order, please contact us here. Available to existing clients only.

Safety Management Systems: Gearlog

It is crucial that the kit both you and I use equipment on your course is fit for purpose and safe to use. I keep meticulous records using GearLog (which can be viewed here); an online kit management system that ensures that not only is our kit safe, it will stay safe for a long time to come.

While primarily designed for organisations, GearLog is free to use and is available to individuals who wish to keep track of their own equipment. For more information, please click here. To view the latest Prowess Kit Inspections, please click here.

Professional Organisations: Mountain Training Association

Getting qualified is one thing but staying current is entirely another. That is why I am a member of the Mountain Training Association. This allows me to stay on top of the latest theory and development and stay current in all practice. I have even contributed to their publication, Professional Mountaineer, on multiple occasions.

Professional Organisations: IRCRA (International Rock Climbing Research Association)

For a long time, I’d admired IRCRA – especially from my days studying for the Master’s degree – and in summer 2025, I became a member. Around the same time, I began working with academics from Germany to become an author on my first paper. Hopefully, it’ll be the first of many.
