About Climb It

Welcome to Climb It, I provide rock climbing instruction, coaching and guided hill walks.

My name is Brian Bateson and I have had a passion for the outdoors as long as I can remember. My desire to develop my passion into a career started in 2010, when I gave up a secure job, to simply do what I love doing most.

While climbing has brought me to many locations, including Wales, Scotland, France, Thailand, Tanzania and the USA. It is in Ireland where I’ve enjoyed my favourite days out on rock and hill.

From hiking in Connemara to scrambling up Howling Ridge, trad climbing at Ailladie or bouldering in Doolin, I find Ireland has everything to offer the hill walker and climber.

What can I do for you?
