David Cummiskey

With nearly two decades of rock climbing experience and a background in psychology, I bring a unique and holistic approach to coaching climbers of all levels. My coaching is grounded in numerous psychological frameworks, designed to develop actionable skills and systems that translate seamlessly to real-world climbing challenges while addressing a wide array of underlying mental and emotional obstacles that climbers often face.

Driven by my passion for understanding the complexities of the mind-body relationship in climbing, I’m committed to creating highly personalized coaching experiences. Focused not only on building physical strength but also on reframing and deepening your mental and emotional connection to the sport. This all encompassing approach ultimately leads to higher-quality performance, and greater satisfaction throughout your climbing journey.

I’m proud to offer a safe, inclusive, and trauma-informed space for all.
And I look forward to working with you!
