Quick Info

From: United Kingdom 🇬🇧
Resident: Australia 🇦🇺
Gender: Female
Hardest Trad (Onsight): E1

English-born Australian climber, mountaineer, author and archeologist. First female climbing instructor at Plas Y Brenin

My father just wanted me to marry a wealthy Yorkshireman and stay put, but I didn’t want to do that. Regarding the actual rock climbing, I didn’t enjoy being at the bottom end of the rope, so I preferred to eventually lead.
