“I like that it is not just a physical workout. It also makes you stronger mentally. It is certainly a sport that is more than it seems,” de Leon says. “It’s more exciting and adventurous as you do different kinds of movements that are a bit more risky because there’s no rope,” she explains. As for mastering technique, she still turns to top rope to practice sans the fear of falling.
“It is a sport that gives you a sense of self-discovery about our capabilities and limitations,” she says. “There are times when you’re on the wall and you get surprised by a move without even knowing you could do it.”as a way to observe and tweak her technique. Her videos coupled with catchy music give a peek into the highs and lows of climbing. Achievements are posted side by side with the times she’s fallen and has had to start all over again.
“Because of climbing, I have discovered that I can actually have a safe space through a sport,” she says.
