About Jany:
Despite my background in Social Politics and Social Work, the mountains and rocks have always called my name. That's why I decided to turn my passion into a career by creating Rockbusters and Snowbusters. My goal? To help you climb BETTER, HARDER & MORE while sharing my experiences and being part of your journey.
I've been a rock climbing coach and ski instructor for over two decades, starting when I was just 20. Countless climbers and skiers have crossed my path, and I'm proud to say they've all improved their skills. While my style might not be everyone's cup of tea, I've made some great friends along the way.
If you're up for a challenge, I'm here to help you push your limits – both physically and mentally. My mission is to find your boundaries and help you smash right through them. Sure, it might get a bit tough at times, but with my technical know-how and mental coaching skills, no goal is out of reach!
So, ready to take your climbing and skiing to new heights? Let's hit the rocks and slopes together!
