Jude Osborne

Jude started climbing in the 90's while studying for her Master's Degree. Trad climbing soon became a passion which has taken her all over the UK, Europe, Australia, Thailand and the USA. However today, you are more likely to find Jude flying high above the crags and the mountains on her paraglider. Other interests include cycling, snowboarding and open water swimming. Jude is our Office Assistant Manager.
