Leah first discovered climbing at 18 while living in Valais, Switzerland. Since then, she has lived in New York, Paris, and London, exploring crags both indoors and outdoors along the way. A former youth team coach, she has experience teaching climbers of all ages and abilities, from complete beginners to more experienced athletes. Her work as an art conservator and writer has taken her across countries and through many moves, but climbing has remained a grounding force and a constant thread throughout.
