Born to Belfast parents, Faye has been based in Munich since 2018. She took up climbing in 2021, and participated in her first competition in 2022. Since then she has quickly progressed to competing both nationally and internationally. In 2025 she became the Irish Under 17 boulder champion and represented Ireland internationally. Her favourite competition venue is BLOChouse Graz and her favourite style of climbing is anything with a steep overhang and powerful moves. Apart from climbing she loves reading, movies, hanging out with friends and chocolate.

Best of luck to Faye as she embarks on her 2026 competition season. Check out World Climbing to find out more about the International Competition Climbing Circuit.
