There's lots of cool reasons to keep an eye on Georgia's Facebook page and climbing progress, not least because she just asked so nicely:
More importantly, as one of the more vocal deaf climbers in the local climbing scene, she really needs to get attention; deserving podiums to both speak from and to stand proud upon, holding up large first-place trophies. Seeing firsthand her impact on young kids and their parents when she spoke at the The Climbing Academy day of BIC Fest, I really hope more people get to hear her and are equally convinced that they should get out and have a go themselves.
There are few role models for young deaf climbers and she definitely ticks all the boxes there, this all said perhaps the more important point to remember is hearing or deaf, she'll give you a good run for your money on the wall! Look forward to entertaining and challenging her whenever she's over TCA way, along with Mitch her mum and chauffeur.
"Thank you for having me and I'm so glad I inspired some people :)"
