Leah Crane

First class British climber. Currently climbing her way round Europe.

21 year old Leah is making a big impact on the UK climbing scene. She has taken on tough routes in the UK and Europe and became the UK’s number one female boulderer by winning the British Bouldering Championship in 2009.

Leah started climbing at 6 years old and at 15 she climbed the grade 7c+ Orion route, Kalymnos, and was placed 3rd in the International Masters Bouldering Competition in 2007.
