It was another great year for the Youth Climbing Symposium.

Youth climbers from all over the UK gather at Oakwood Climbing Centre, where world-class climbing athletes and coaches share a variety of experiences and top tips, each with their own unique twist.

Climbing coaching is progressing fast here in the UK and I have no doubt we will see many positive changes with the Tokyo 2020 Olympics edging closer.

Big thanks to organisers Jonathan Redshaw & Robin O'leary for every sweat they've worked up putting together this amazing event.

Incredibly honoured to be at the world's first Youth Climbing Symposium.

With nearly 200 youth climbers from all over the UK attending at Oakwood Climbing Centre, to learn from a cast of all-star climbing world legends. Each brought their own unique spin and charm to the event.

It was all about inspiring the next generation, taking the next step towards the future of British climbing, I have no doubt these youths will be future Olympians.

The vision that is Jonathan Redshaw & Robin O'leary have made this possible, so big thanks to them for having me picture those moments as they came together.

Was amazing to meet everyone who came, most of which I know from comps already. All the athletes, coaches, assistant coaches, all the way to the volunteers, fellow photographers & Oakwood staff. Shout out to sponsors CAC Climbers Against Cancer FrictionLabs BOREAL and of course - you ;)

Stay tuned for more pictures!
