About me:

My name is Marta Palou. I fell in love with climbing when I was twelve years old. I started climbing in a gym and competed in national and international competitions for six years. For the past four years, I have been focusing on climbing outside. Since I started climbing I have always been inspired by training. This is why I studied Sports Science. When I finished my degree I moved to Rodellar, where I have climbed routes up to 8c. I spend six months in Rodellar and the other half of the year I live in my van and travel to climb. I have been a qualified trainer and climber for more than thirteen years and have applied my knowledge and experience to personalized training and adapted this to the needs of each person I work with. Climbing is my passion and I love helping others train to reach their own goals in rock climbing.
