SPORTS STAFF - JUDE OSBORNE |

Jude
looks far too young for someone who has been climbing
for almost a decade. Definitely a rock-chick at heart
she has climbed all over the UK and in Spain, France,
Australia, Thailand and the USA, but until recently had
stayed away from all that cold white stuff unless on her
snowboard. However a three-day quick visit to Rjukan in
Norway has left her keen to do more wintery things. Best
recent leads include Aphasia, Sergeant Crag Slab (E2,
5b), and Triermain Eliminate, Castle Rock, (E2, 5b). Jude
is our Office Assistant Manager.
