Annie Bandez

Anastasia "Annie" Sanders (born July 22, 2007) is an American rock climber who specialises in competition climbing, with an emphasis on the bouldering, lead, and combined disciplines. She came to international attention at the 2021 IFSC Climbing World Youth Championships in Voronezh, where she won gold in all three Youth B U16 events before the age of 15. In the same year, she flashed the sport climbing route Omaha Beach 5.14a (8b+) at the Red River Gorge, a climbing route considered an extreme standard of difficulty in outdoor sport climbing.
In 2025, Sanders became the first American woman to win IFSC World Cup titles in both Lead and Bouldering. The Olympics has described her as a “teenage sensation” in the sport.
