Emma has had a blinding 2014 starting with 2 E7 flashes (Yukan II and Bucket Dynasty) and then becoming the first British Woman to climb 8c on British soil and the second British woman to climb 8c ever. The climb was Unjustified at Malham Cove in Yorkshire which is an infamous test piece in it's grade.
With an ascent of Rare Lichen E9 6c in summer 2013 and previous ascents including a redpoint of Predator F8b at Malham and a flash ascent of Statement of Youth F8a at Lower Pen Trwyn, Emma is one of the most accomplished female climbers currently operating in the UK.
Emma was born in Exeter in 1986, but grew up in the Lake District where she started climbing at a young age with her Dad. During the lecture, Emma will talk about her climbing through the years from growing up in the Lake District, competing in youth competitions, living in Sheffield and finally moving to North Wales where she currently resides.
