If you're needing insight into the bag of tricks professional climbers use to improve their climbing then join Emma Twyford, full-time route setter and climbing coach, at a BMC Climbing Movement Masterclass sponsored by DMM. Emma's credentials are without question too, as she holds a degree in Sports Science and Coaching, has climbed E9, onsighted 8a, redpointed 8c, flashed font 7b+ and bouldered Font 7c; the breadth of her experience truly inspires those that she coaches.
