SPORTS STAFF - EMILY BROOKS |
| Emily
describes herself as an allrounder. That includes summer and
winter climbing, mountaineering and ski-touring all over the
world, including the Alps, New Zealand, Australia, America
and the Himalayas. Leads up to VS on rock, but as she says
says "there's enough VS in the world to last several
lifetimes!" Recent
highlights include sailing to Greenland as crew with the Rev
Bob "in the footsteps of Tilman" Shepton, and making
several first ascents in the far north-west. In recent years Em has competed in numerous adventure races and mountain bike events, and even wins on occasion! |
