CLIMBING GUIDE

I started climbing relatively late, at 24, because since I was a child my main sport was skiing.

Everything began after finishing university. I went travelling to Spain with some friends, with the idea of climbing a bit, learning Spanish and working a little. After some time, my friends went back to the Czech Republic and I decided to stay in Spain so I could keep climbing, and also because it just felt too good living here ;). I bought a van to live in, and for about ten years I lived that way, working as little as possible and climbing as much as I could.

For me, climbing is not just a sport. It is about being in nature, van life, travelling, and sharing climbs with friends and like-minded people, as well as meeting new ones. It is my passion, and I believe that having a passion — whatever it is — is essential to living a full life, keeping motivation, curiosity, and drive alive.

Now, in my forties, with the big boom of climbing and climbing gyms, I still hold on to this “romantic” perspective of climbing. What I like about coaching is the same thing I like about climbing: spending time outdoors, in good company, and being able to help and share some of the things I have learned over the years.

HOST & FOUNDER

I’m Delaney! I really connected with the outdoors in my early 20s and fell deeply in love with climbing. I started indoor bouldering for community and fitness. Shortly after was introduced to sport climbing and that was it. I quickly began shaping my life around it.

I fell in love with the sport, the community, and the way it brings me into nature and into my body. It healed parts of myself I didn’t know needed attention and continues to shape who I am. There is so much that the sport brings out, and so much to interpret from it, like many things it feels like a reflection of ourselves.

I was introduced to outdoor climbing through a girlfriend and have been fortunate to learn from and share with many amazing women. Through climbing, I’ve built some of the most beautiful, empowering, and impactful female friendships, seriously EVER. I want to share climbing, and the connection, confidence, strength, and sense of self/ direction it creates with other women and people.

Another passion of mine is photography. During these group trips, I document the experience and offer professional portraits and climbing photos. I’m here for support, to help cultivate the space, and make sure everything runs smoothly! :) Book a call with me to chat more below.

CLIMBING GUIDE

I’m Irene. I studied Fine Arts in Cuenca, and around the age of 25-26, I discovered climbing in a place full of rock like Cuenca. I immediately fell in love with this amazing and challenging sport, which requires a lot of dedication if you want to improve. Slowly, my life started to revolve around climbing: I moved to the Pyrenees, combining climbing with mountaineering and skiing. I come from a very different world—the arts—which is still a part of me, but in the mountains I finally found my place.

Nowadays, I work as a guide in the Alps and also for climbing in Spain, combining it with my job as a ski lift operator in winter and with concert production in Switzerland during the summer. What I love most about being a guide is meeting new people from all over the world, sharing experiences, and passing on my passion for the mountains and climbing. For me, climbing isn’t just a physical activity—it’s nature, travel, friends, new connections, and shared adventures.

At the end of the day, I believe life is best lived following your passion, staying curious, and surrounding yourself with the people and places that inspire you the most.

HOST & STRENGTH TRAINER

Hi, I’m Andi!

Fitness, training, and climbing completely changed my life. I found the outdoors in my twenties, and it transformed my relationship with both my body and mind. Since then, I’ve been driven to explore different ways to strengthen my whole self.

My approach to lifting and climbing is functional, sustainable, and designed to fit into real, busy lives. My mission is to share that approach with as many women as I can reach as well as advocating for real female strength in mainstream media and advertising through my media production company.
