Anna is an up and coming British trad climber based in the Lake District. She has multiple climbs in the E6-E8 range on her CV and favours bold and often unprotectable climbs   Anna started climbing at age 10.    Competitions didn't really suit her, and she quit the sport in her teens for a while before getting into outdoor bouldering age 17.    At 19, on a family holiday, she discovered she had a taste for hard trad and hasn't looked back.   Anna has lived in the Lake District all her life and works as a route-setter at Kendal Wall.     Anna's 2019 climbing spree* Lake District climbs   8 July, Disorderly Conduct E8 6c, lead, Reecastle Crag, Cumbria 26 June, Hare Today, Gone Tomorrow E5 6b, solo onsight, Hare Crags, Cumbria 27 May, Right Hare, Right Now E7 6c, lead, Hare Crags, Cumbria 22 May, Scrogbank Ravers E7 6c, lead, White Mines, Rusty Wall, Cumbria 20 May, No Nuts (Just Balls) E7 6b solo, Harrop Tarn Crag, Cumbria 4 May, Relentless Rage E7 6a, lead, Gouther Crags, Cumbria 29 April, Hang the Gallows H
