Emma Twyford
- About me
I have been climbing for 24 years now. I have done a mixture of climbing over the years pushing my limits outdoors and competing on the national and international circuit from the age of 14 to 22. I am now based in North Wales and route set and coach all over the country. I love being able to teach people new movement from the easiest up to the more complicated.
- Your Setting Experience
I have been route setting for the last 6/7 years. I first started out by learning from Rob Napier at the Foundry and then built up a good reputation working at a few climbing walls dotted around the country. I am happy setting both roped stuff (up to 8b) and boulders (up to V8/9).
Comps I have set for:
UV Comp at Redpoint Bristol
Red and White Spider Boulder comps
The Spot Bouldering league comp rounds

Kendal climbing wall
- Description of work performed
Usually setting off ropes on their highest wall at 24m high it’s definitely the highest wall. I have also used cherry pickers to set routes at white spider and on new wall builds at other walls. Setting 3 routes usually on this wall from 6a up to 8a+
