It’s the kind of challenge that brute force will not conquer, but a modicum of technique & thought will quickly bring the bar for success down. Before long, Zoë matches the finish hold and drops to the mat. Content, she moves on. Setting the Direction: pertex.com/2022/12/19/set…

Most of my early climbing was with mum. It was an incredibly important part of her life, but she didn’t force it on me. We’d go to beautiful places & have fun, and climbing was part of that, but always relaxed, never the sole focus. Setting the Direction: pertex.com/2022/12/19/set…

“My dad is one of my best mates; we go on climbing trips together – America this summer, & Font’ in a few days. He’s a climbing photographer & has an amazing eye for the aesthetics & artistic side of climbing.” Setting the Direction: pertex.com/2022/12/19/set…

We move on to what the future may look like. On a professional level, it is consolidating her current work and using that to build a life in a new location. Climbing wise, Zoë feels as though she’s not even scratched the surface… Setting the Direction: pertex.com/2022/12/19/set…

I am also left in no doubt at all that Zoë will influence and lead change – whether that is vocally and proactively, or through simply being very damn good at what she does. Either way, the future is bright. Read Setting the Direction, here: pertex.com/2022/12/19/set…
