I have been working with Lohan for three years; in that time, he has shaped and challenged my relationship with climbing. Lohan brings forward an analytical approach to climbing that extracts the best from you. This supportive presence, combined with a tailor-made training plan and top-of-the-line technical coaching, facilitates rapid progression. In my three years with Lohan, I progressed from 13b to 14a, and from V9 to V12, with the cause of this progression feeling split evenly between strength gains and increased proficiency on rock. This guy knows his stuff - get with him or get left in the dust!

Being one of Lohan’s students on the rock was a stellar experience to say the least. Lohan is by far one of the most thoughtful and insightful people I have ever been coached by. His coaching style not only pushed me to new heights strength wise, but his advice and training also allowed me to work on my relationship with climbing as a long term endeavor which was something I neglected as a climber. Don’t miss out!

Though Lohan’s achievements cannot be understated, what truly sets him apart is his compassion, encouragement, and unwavering psych for climbing. No matter your level—V2 or V14—his support is the same. For over 10 years, I’ve watched Lohan uplift everyone from complete beginners to elite athletes. His coaching goes far beyond just training plans—he understands the mental and physical journey of climbing at every level. I fully trust his knowledge to take me to the next level.

It was an honor to coach alongside Lohan at The Climbing Academy. What stood out to me about his coaching style was his ability to break down the nuance of climbing into something both analytical and intuitive. Every climb became a complex equation to solve as he worked to identify the most efficient technique and precise body positioning, even down to the number of breaths to take. Lohan brings a rare mix of mathematical precision and intuitive care to his coaching. Any climber working with him will not only learn how to climb harder, but more importantly, smarter.

Lohan is an exceptionally talented climber and coach, and both of these qualities stem from his methodical ability to bridge the training done in the gym with performance outside on the rock. Working alongside him at The Climbing Academy, I’ve seen firsthand his meticulous approach as he guided athletes in strategically applying months and years of dedicated gym work to achieve their personal goals on the rock.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Lohan for 4 years. The physical progress I’ve made under his belt is undeniable, but what sets him apart is his perspective on the mental side of climbing. He doesn’t just train performance; he teaches you to perfect the process - how you move, think, and approach each climb. What matters most is the method, mindset, and process. That shift in thinking has revolutionized the way I climb. I don’t just reach goals faster - I approach them smarter. With his coaching I was able to climb numerous double-digit boulders which one felt unreachable. Lohan has helped me build a foundation and love for climbing that will transcend any number attached.
