Climber joins list of Berghaus-sponsored athletes
30/08/2019
Originally from the Lake District in the north of England, Anna Taylor began climbing at the age of ten. She began her competitive career indoors but soon discovered that she preferred being outside and that she was attracted to the mental challenges presented by traditional climbing.
She is the first woman to complete the ascents of a number of E6, E7 and E8 category climbs and will be the sole woman member of a team, led by fellow Berghaus athlete Leo Houlding, that will embark on a climbing expedition to Guyana in November.
Announcing her addition to the list of Berghaus athletes, brand director, Kev McFadyen, said: “Anna is one of the most exciting young climbers in the UK trad scene, and we’re delighted to have her join the Berghaus team. Just like us, she has big plans for the future, and we look forward to supporting her adventures.”
For her part, Ms Taylor said: “It’s nice to be working with a company that promotes adventure and pushing your personal boundaries, as these are aspects of life that I believe are very important. I’m excited about the opportunity to work with the product team to help Berghaus develop some even better gear for women, and then have the privilege of being among the first to put new designs to the test on some challenging climbs.”
