An Interview with Anna Taylor

Anna Taylor is a climber and adventurer based in the Lake District. She has carved an amazing career in a short space of time and at such a young age will have lots of time ahead of her to go even further.

In 2019, Anna joined Leo Houlding on a trip to Guyana to climb Mount Roraima which has been made in to a film called House of the Gods. Since then she has cycled the length of the UK linking up all the routes in Ken Wilson’s ‘Classic Rock’ guide book.

Watch the interview to find out some of the insights to both of the adventures.

It was an absolute pleasure to talk to Anna, thanks to her for giving up her time in what was a busy weekend at Kendal Mountain Festival.

Also thanks to Jen Brown from Kendal Mountain Festival and Chris Lines to making this happen.
