I am a 16 year old climber from the west midlands. I started climbing at a very young age in a local leisure centre as my dad is a climbing instructor. From there I was hooked and haven’t stopped yet! I have taken part in numerous competitions, both British and in international events including European youth cups, the world youth championships and a senior lead world cup. I am also a very keen outdoor climber both sport climbing and bouldering to the best of my ability.
