What’s your climbing origin story? How and when did you get into it, and what kept you going?
1st of January 2019, I woke up hungover and figured I needed to change some things in my life. I grabbed my phone and googled if there was a bouldering gym in Brussels, where I lived. I had bouldered a couple of times a few years back and really enjoyed it, but there were no good facilities where I lived at the time. The next day I went to the first bouldering gym in Brussels, that had coincidentally opened a couple of months earlier. I arrived and immediately fell in love with the place. I loved bouldering so much, the crew was very friendly and the people were nice. I got a subscription the next day and from that day on I have bouldered roughly 3-4 times per week. I built my own mini moonboard and go on regular climbing trips. I only started climbing at 30 (I’m 36 now).
