Susanna loves spending as much time in the outdoors as possible, especially in mountainous areas hiking and trekking. I first rock climbed about 15 years ago and it has been a passion ever since. I live in the South East, just a 5 minute drive from the Southern Sandstone outcrops of Harrisons, Bowles , Eridge and Stone Farm Rocks.  I hold the  Southern Sandstone Leaders Award and teach outdoors on local Sandstone and hold the CWI and CWAI awards and instruct at indoor climbing venues.
