EMMA HUNT

THE FASTEST AMERICAN WOMAN IN SPEED CLIMBING

Emma Hunt is a professional speed climber on the USA Climbing Speed team. Emma started climbing at 5-years-old and began competing just a few years later. At 14-years-old Emma discovered speed climbing—from that moment on, she was hooked.

Emma currently holds the US women's national speed climbing record at 6.54 seconds. She will be representing Team USA at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

When she's not climbing Emma enjoys baking! She loves trying new recipes and learning different baking techniques. Emma is also a huge animal lover and spends a lot of time hanging with her pets – her dog, Flynn, and cat, Nala.
