John Kettle

I am a passionate rock climber and professional climbing coach based in the Lake District of Northern England. I've been climbing since 1995, including first ascents of traditional climbs, sport climbs, mixed winter routes and numerous boulder problems.

I've coached climbers of all abilities for more than 25 years in traditional and sport climbing and bouldering, and continue to help individuals improve their performance and enjoyment of climbing in all its’ forms.

I'm involved in the delivery and development of UK coaching qualifications and regularly provide seminars, workshops and courses for climbing coaches.
