Hannah was first introduced to climbing at Center Parcs, aged 7 and absolutely loved it. With her parents support she quickly progressed and started competing soon after. Her highlights are her two podium places at YCCF, Imst and meeting some great climbers there from all nationalities.

In 2018, Hannah was selected for the GB Team and has recently enjoyed climbing at a few internationals reaching semi-finals at the European Championships in Augsburg, Germany, finishing 16th . She also had the opportunity to compete in her 1st senior world cup in Edinburgh at the end of 2022 and is hoping to build on this experience.

Hannah is the current Scottish Lead and Bouldering Champion in the Junior category.

Not only does she enjoy climbing indoors but also has a passion for rock. She’s normally a fair weather climber (strange coming from Scotland!) and her favourite places to climb are Font, Arco and Margalef. One UK highlight was climbing Sufferance (8a at Dumbarton), which she said felt great and then she has progressed to climbing a few 8a climbs in Margalef, Spain.   

Hannah is psyched to become a sponsored athlete with Life Fit Wellness and appreciates all the support from the team.
