Defending Champions – The Dominant Girls

Fiona Murry and Ellen Barber dominated their respective classes at last years Scottish Tooling Series in the last profile article we look at the two leading ladies!

Fiona Murray is a very strong winter climber and on this sort of terrain is certainly the country’s best female. With at least 4 M10s under her belt.

In 2005 Fiona and Dave Brown of (hot Aches) both had time on their hands due to changes in work circumstances and headed out to Canada to play on some of the cutting edge mixed routes. The results of the trip were documented in the Hot aches Film “All Mixed up in the Canadian Rockies”

In 2006  Fiona  succeeded on Fast and & Furious first female ascent and competed in the Ice World Cup!.

In last year’s Scottish Tooling series Fiona was a dominant force from start to finish. Fiona has recently re-located to the Aviemore area and is looking forward to making good use of her proximity to the mountains!
