I competed in the BMC YCS 2012 when I was 11- my first competition. I qualified 3rd in my region for the national finals, and subsequently came fifth in the nationals. I was very pleased with my result. In 2013 I competed in the BLCC as a C. I achieved 6th in this event, which I was also very happy with. I also competed in the Welsh Climbing Championships, in which I came 4th, and the Youth Open Lead event, in which I came 5th.
