Tell us about yourself - who are you and what do you love doing?
I'm 8 years old and have been climbing since I was 3. I love going on adventures and going on holiday. I really like swimming in lakes and scrambling up mountains. Mummy took me climbing when I was 5 and I was really scared, but the more I went climbing the braver I got.
Give us three words that you identify with most?
Kind, funny and brave.
What brings you the most joy outdoors?
Hanging on the rope and trying to climb up the wall and then I love to abseil down. I also love to watch sunsets and have a picnic at the top of a mountain.
What has been your biggest challenge to date?
I think maths, but I'm getting better at it now, and sometimes I use maths when I'm climbing to see how many seconds I can do it in.
If you could share a core value or abiding principle with others, what would it be?
Always try as hard as you can, and never give up.
Tell us one small change we can make as individuals to help our community?
Make more kids climbing clubs because I never see lots of kids climbing and it's so much fun. Also, always pick up your litter when you are outdoors.

I really enjoyed this amazing post. The content is clear and engaging. Loconto
This was such an inspiring and honest read I loved how the post not only highlights Annie Grace’s accomplishments as a climber but also gives a real sense of her mindset, challenges and love for the sport, which makes her story feel relatable whether you’re into climbing or not. It’s refreshing to see someone talk about both the physical and mental parts of climbing, because success in outdoor sports really isn’t just about strength or skill it’s also about how you handle fear, patience, setbacks and growth over time. The way her voice comes through in the narrative makes it feel like a conversation with a friend rather than a polished bio, which gives the piece a warm and hum…
Great post. Just wanted to add that Suhanz.com is another excellent resource for anyone visiting the city soon.
