My Climbing Journey
At the young age of 11, my climbing journey began. This exciting adventure led me to gain experience in various types of climbing over a period of 12 years. Two years into my journey, at 13, I began participating in numerous competitions throughout my homeland, the Philippines.
Achievements and Sponsors
My burning passion for climbing, complemented with a sprinkle of luck, facilitated my entry into the 2005 World Youth Climbing Championships. Here, I demonstrated my expertise in both lead and speed climbing. This achievement attracted sponsors who supported me from 2005 to 2006.
Moving to Australia: A New Climbing Experience
In 2015, my path led me to Albury, Australia. This move offered a fresh exposure to traditional climbing, a style prominent in this region.
Exploring Lead Climbing and Bouldering
Three years later, in 2018, I shifted to Queensland. Here, I explored new avenues, majorly focusing on lead climbing and bouldering.
Sharing the Passion
I eagerly anticipate sharing my enthusiasm and love for climbing with everyone.
