Biography

Growing up in the UK provided Fay with access to the outdoors experiencing what the countryside has to offer. She said she can pinpoint the exact moment she decided to take her exploration to the next level on a particularly memorable trip to North Wales. Shortly after she moved to the Alps, to Chamonix to fully immerse herself in the world of alpinism.

Fay’s ambition is to inspire women to pursue their interest in alpinism. She is particularly passionate about inspiring young girls in the UK to enjoy the beauty of mountaineering. Her aim is to influence girls to go from indoor climbing to the outdoors, and with the leverage gained from her professional climbing career, she hopes to encourage as many young girls as possible to adventure in the outdoors.
