Holly Peristiani Climbing

I had a great day with Holly! She works with small groups which means you get lots of her time. She’s a great instructor and climber, and the whole day felt very relaxed. Me and my friends were frequent boulderers and spent a day with Holly learning to climb outdoors. She put safety front and center and we learned a lot - protecting the rock, setting anchors, how to approach a route. Will hopefully be able to go again soon!

Holly is an amazing instructor! After my first not-so-great attempt at climbing with another instructor, I’ve taken her course and fell in love with climbing. From teaching the basics of tying-in to belay and actually climbing to listening and addressing all the concerns, she’s simply great and I couldn't have asked for a better teacher! She makes me feel safe and is happy to chat through any concerns but is also great at pushing me to get better. Holly's very warm and personable, not to mention climbing (and chatting) with her is great fun and I can't wait to climb with her again!

Holly took a friend and I to Harrison’s rocks for the day and was an excellent climbing instructor. Under her instruction we developed our rope and climbing skills and by the end of the day we felt sufficiently confident in our knowledge to climb outdoors independently. The day was great fun and I highly recommend her! Thanks again Holly :)

I have climbed with Holly a few times now - as a beginner she makes you feel very at ease and safe, with clear explanations for all the safety instructions. It's a really solid introduction to outdoor climbing that ensures you start with the right (safe) habits off the bat. And Holly is so encouraging and supportive which meant we achieved a lot more than we thought we would, and I really appreciate her tailored approach to the class and selection of routes, and her own passion for climbing is inspiring!

I had a WONDERFUL top rope climbing session with Holly in Autumn at Harrison`s Rocks.I had three years of experience in bouldering, but it was my first time climbing in the nature. She was very PATIENT and ENCOURAGING. She made sure that I learnt how to trust my own body in a completely new environment, she also made sure that I had some FUN! It was agood balance.She has eyes into details, and a lot of RESPECT FOR NATURE. She has got her own kit to protect the rocks from rope friction; and a shoe mat to make sure the sole is free of sand before climbing.She is full of passion for not only climbing, but also teaching climbing.Definitely GREAT coach to recommend. :)

I joined Holly for a day of climbing in Harrison's rock. Holly is a great instructor and she is able to make the experience enjoyable and fun without sacrificing safety. I had a great time learning how to setup anchors and reinforce my belay learning whilst learning new valuable information for outdoors climbing, especially how to stay safe. Looking forward to more days out climbing with Holly!

I did a four hour Lead Climbing course with Holly in early 2023. She is a highly knowledgeable and a very approachable instructor.Initially, I found the transition from top/bottom roping to lead climbing to be highly daunting, but Holly’s instrucrions were both informative and confidence boosting and I owe her immense gratitude, as every thing she taught me cane in handy and I kept referring to her training and the many tips she offered as I started leading and seconding.I highly recommend doing a course with her instead of starting leading without proper training as the one she offers.Happy customer here and I’d highly recommend her.

Holly is a fantastic climbing instructor, guide and teacher who shares valuable knowledge in a safe and fun environment.I had a great day out at Southern Sandstone with Holly and in addition to what was simply an enjoyable days climbing, Holly also proved to be a valuable guide to the area and helped me understand and work through technical skills such as fixing anchors.I would highly recommend Holly to anyone looking to hone or improve their climbing skills or simply get out to explore new outdoor areas under the safe supervision of an experienced instructor and guide.

Holly taught me how to lead climb / belay and I couldn't have asked for a better learning experience! She broke the course up into stages making for a very smooth transition. I felt safe the whole time and before I knew it, I felt extremely confident :) She explains things very thoroughly and has fantastic knowledge!

We went to the Peaks with Holly. A couple of us only started climbing outdoors this year so it was a great trip. It was useful to see how to set up the climbs too. Holly is super personable, great at giving tips when you need them and obviously safe. I'll be arranging more trips with her which I look forward to.
