It is my first year on the GB junior lead climbing team and it has been such a good experience being in the team and I'm hoping to continue the experience next year.
I was a little nervous going on the team training trip to Austria, not only was I away from home without my parents but I would be in another country, but that was covered by my excitement!
The Imst outdoor wall in Austria:
Our training trip to Austria really helped and it was good to finally see the AMAZING climbing walls!
I was glad to get back to the UK and lots of hard training! The next five weeks were spent training, training and some more training 😜 Inglesport Climbing wall has helped so much and I want to say a big thank you to them, THANK YOU!
Me doing the Green Circuit in Inglesport's Wall, Ingleton:
I have just got back from Austria for the second time after competing in my first European competition - the youth colour festival. It was brilliant! I finished 14th overall and, first Brit and I was happy with my result, after all it was my first international comp😊
I'm headed up to Edinburgh, Ratho, on Friday to help film the IFSC European Youth Championships *hopefully I wont make any mistakes*
I had a nice surprise when I got home from school today ~a nice big box of of holds~
Thanks to King Kong for helping me out, they're great and I can't wait to set some routes on my home wall with them👌
Me with the new holds generously given by King Kong:
I'm sure there will be lots more 'hard' training with my coach Ellie Howard and my Dad (Duncan Morrison).
