Euan Brown

Euan is based in Melbourne, Australia, a couple of hours from the iconic Arapiles and Grampians climbing areas. He has been climbing for over a decade, with experience in sport climbing, bouldering, and trad, and particular experience tackling the complex and physical mixed-style routes characteristic of Australian crags. He’s also travelled and climbed throughout Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East on extended trips, most recently taking a year to climb across France, Spain, and Germany.

Euan first experienced the value of climbing coaching himself as a weekend warrior, trying to push his climbing alongside working a full-time job — something many of us are familiar with. Coaching helped keep him out of his own way. Instead of getting distracted by training fads or overwhelmed by conflicting advice, he learned to focus on the basic principles of climbing progression and build structure into his training.

Fast forward several years, and Euan is a valued member of the Vertical Ascents coaching team, helping climbers find their best form, steer clear of injury, and improve their climbing.
