Emma Twyford has had a massive year. She ticked The Big Bang, becoming the first British woman to climb 9a. We caught up with her at Kendal Mountain Festival where she was promoting her new film, Emma.

In August, Emma climbed The Big Issue (E9 6c) at Bosherston Head in Pembroke in what she'll remember as a vintage year. She continued her fine form a month later when she put her long-term project, The Big Bang (9a) at Lower Pen Trwyn, finally to rest. Emma also had successful trips to Oliana and the Dolomites and provided she can stay uninjured, 2020 promises to be an exciting year.
