”To me, climbing is a mirror. It reflects our strengths, our fears, our impulses. As an instructor, I use it as a tool to help people reconnect with their bodies, break through mental barriers, and cultivate trust — in themselves and in others.”
Anxo - Climbing Insructor
”My passion for climbing began at age 23 in Barcelona, during my studies. I fondly remember my first experiences at the Túnel de la Foixarda climbing gym and rock climbing trips in Montserrat with friends. Climbing is not just a sport, it is the art of overcoming your own limits.”
