In December I was amazed to find I had been awarded the Sheffield University Elite
Sports Performance Scheme Level 2 Award, and The Catalyst Higher Education
Accommodation Award.
I
had applied for the Scholarships at Sheffield University when I started in
September and was really pleased to be awarded the first level (free use of the
gym etc). I was invited to meet the Catalyst Committee and turned up in jeans
and tea shirt to find 9 suited and booted committee members, I did feel just a
little underdressed! It was here I was
told I had been awarded the top sports scholarship! An enormous thank you to the Catalyst
committee, and Sport Sheffield for selecting me. I am looking forward to the official Awards
Night later this week.

2014
saw me take part in 3 Senior World Cup Events across Europe; and the Senior
World Championships in Gijon, I have blogged about these previously they really
were a tremendous experience, the atmosphere at these events is incredible, to
be on the same wall at the same time as Adam Ondra is mind blowing. Watching the skill in the finals is
inspirational. To take part in some of
the Senior World Events is just unbelievable. Fingers crossed
I can do well in the Senior events in 2015.
Over
the Autumn I have taken part in a few local boulder competitions – much to the
surprise of boulderers who know me as a lead climber; yep I have discovered it
is possible to climb without a harness or rope. Finding myself in the final of
The Plywood Masters in December I had to ask the other competitors to explain
how the format of the finals worked.
The
first BMC Youth Open Cup in November saw a win for me in the Junior age group,
proving I can still compete with rope and harness.
