The support I have received has been fantastic and I’d like to recognise all those who have helped me along the way… I could not do this on my own and I’m massively grateful to all my supporters and sponsors.
Thank you all!
I have become a sponsored climber with DMM. I’ve always liked their gear and now to be part of an amazing team is awesome. I’m looking forward to putting the dragon cams through their paces! It’s brilliant to be supported by a company with such strong trad climbing pedigree. Thanks to DMM for welcoming me onto the team!
I have become a sponsored ambassador for Beta Climbing Designs. I’m looking forward to testing their full range of sport climbing accessories on my upcoming trip to South Africa. Thanks for having me on-board!
I have become a Montane ambassador and it’s an honour to be part of the team. A huge thanks to Montane for welcoming me. They supported my trip up to the Isle of Hoy in the Orkneys and are providing outdoor clothing for myself and Molly. My favourite jacket is the Featherlite Smock it’s perfect when you’re leading, you can clip it on to your harness and then pull it on to belay! Molly loves her Ground Control Jacket.
I have joined the Boreal team. They’re a super strong team and it’s an honour to be part of it. A massive thanks to Boreal for welcoming me. They are sponsoring me and providing climbing and approach footwear. The Synergy rock shoes are my favourite for competition climbing and the Lynx for trad!
I am honoured to be a Climbers Against Cancer Ambassador. Through the worldwide climbing community, CAC aim to increase awareness and raise funds for research in the continued fight against a disease that affects so many. Climbers Against Cancer is a none profit organisation, with all proceeds donated directly to cancer research facilities throughout the world. Go buy a T-Shirt!!
The Douglas Bader Foundation generously supported me in my quest to become an Arctic Explorer in 2017 and to achieve my goals in the “can do” spirit of Sir Douglas. They have continued their support for me in my latest endeavours for which I’m hugely grateful! “Don’t listen to anyone who tells you that you can’t do this or that. That’s nonsense. Make up your mind, you’ll never use crutches or a stick, then have a go at everything. Go to school, join in all the games you can. Go anywhere you want to. But never, never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible.” Sir Douglas Bader
My local wall in Loughborough is where I do most of my training. The staff and the local climbing community are extremely friendly and supportive. They have everything there I need for my training and it’s a great place to hang out.
