Whatβs your climbing origin story? How and when did you get into it, and what kept you going?
Well, I started climbing about 6 years ago right after COVID, because I had stopped doing most of my hobbies and needed to start something again. But, after about a year and a half I quit because it wasnβt feasible to keep doing that and go to school and work and the other two sports that I was doing. Then I graduated High school and moved to Germany, where I ended up meeting a girl that really liked climbing and it made me want to get back into it. I started again around October of last year and have been mostly motivated by the community, and everyone around me. I also have the best climbing partner I could ask for which helps a lot haha. But I really enjoy the community mostly and I love the things you can do, indoor, outdoor, bouldering, top rope, etc.Itβs just a very versatile sport with an amazing community, and I love it!
