Erin McNeice

Erin McNeice (born 6 April 2004) is a British rock climber who specialises in competition climbing. She has been selected to represent Great Britain at the 2024 Summer Olympics.

Biography
McNeice started climbing at the age of five when her father took her and her older brother to a climbing gym.

Aged 12, after four years living in Malaysia where she trained on larger climbing walls, McNeice entered her first national competition before eventually making it onto the Great Britain Climbing junior squad and going on to represent her country at the 2021 IFSC Climbing World Youth Championships, where she placed 5th in Bouldering and 10th in Lead.

In 2022, and still only 17-years-old, she became the youngest member of the Great Britain Climbing senior team.

McNeice won the British Lead senior title in 2022 and 2023.

She took a bronze medal at the first Olympic Qualifier Series event in Shanghai, China, in May 2024.

The following month, McNeice matched that performance at the second event of the series in Budapest, Hungary, to book her spot at the 2024 Summer Olympics.

Her Olympic place was officially confirmed when Team GB named their climbing squad on 3 July 2024.
