Profile
Tayla started climbing at 8 years old and entered her first competition at age 9. Since that first competition she has not looked back, entering and winning her first national competition on her 10th birthday. Tayla has been regularly competing in, and winning, both regional and national events ever since, and in 2009 won both the National Cup series and National Championships for her age group, and was 2nd in the Oceania Championships.
Tayla trains up to 5 times a week at the Wall in Rotorua, and in 2010 has been selected as part of the New Zealand Junior Team to represent New Zealand at the World Youth Championships in Edinburgh, Scotland. When not training or competing, Tayla tries to get outdoors, climbing on real rock whenever she can.
Tayla loves her Driclime Original Windshirt, Guides Down Jacket and PreCip Jacket.
