Reach Member Achieves target of getting from 7b+ Redpoint to 8a in 15 weeks using Reach Dual Factor Program


I just heard from the UK that one of our memebers has just completed their target objective of getting from 7b+ to red pointing their first 8a in 15 weeks. Kev Gibson joined us at Reach in January and I designed Kev´s online program around my own experience of getting back to 8a as well as training together in the early winter months.

His recent success is testament to both Reach Climbing Coach and the Dual Factor Program and Kev´s own determination to push through the ceiling of expectation and belief.

Well done Kev! You are a dude!

Referrals from clients:



"...This training season I decided to get all the help I can to speed up my improvement. I needed guidance to work towards my goals in long term. I also needed more vision and opinions about my exercises and weak links. I am glad I can share my training with Mark..." (Ville Mustonen, Finland)


" I met Mark in Glen Nevis on his return to climbing to check out some lines he had in mind for me, I wasn't really training at this point but after a day or two talking and training with him I had a much more structured idea of what to do to improve and I did" (Kev Shields)
