Welcome to Mountaineering Ireland’s first coaching conference. Bringing together indoor competition climbing coaches from across Ireland.
Creating spaces to connect as coaches, to gather insights from the climbing coaching community, to learn, share, discuss and collaborate in the co-creation of a progressive Performance Pathway which supports Irelands first climbing Olympians.
If you are a climbing coach working in a wall, club or competition squad and supporting Irish competition climbers we would like to invite you to join us in February 2025 for a weekend of sharing, learning, development and self-discovery.
Inspired by current best practices from adult learning and development, this conference will look to blend the traditional conference elements of keynotes, case studies and breakout groups with facilitated social learning spaces and sense making sessions. Participants will be supported across the two day event by coach developers from across the Irish high-performance sport community.

About the Conference
