Angie was born in Canberra, Australia, in 2004. At the age of 7 and after falling out of a tree Angie’s father decided to take her to the local climbing gym where she could explore her obvious passion for climbing in a safer, more controlled environment. Her prodigious talent was obvious from the outset: she climbed her first 31 (8b) — ‘Swingline’ in Red River Gorge, USA, at only 9 years of age; a year later she did ‘Welcome to Tijuana’ 8c (33) in Rodellar, Spain.
