About Jose:

My name is Jose, I’m 39 years old, and I’ve been climbing for half of my life. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to climb in some of the most renowned climbing areas in the world. While I’m familiar with all climbing styles, my favorite discipline is sport climbing.

Last year, I decided to take my passion to a professional level by earning the TD2 climbing guide certification. I also completed a 200-hour training course with one of the top coaches in Spain and an additional course focused on fear management techniques. I believe this training, combined with my university degree in Primary Education with a specialization in Physical Education, not only gives me a deep understanding of the subject matter but also the skills to teach it effectively. Additionally, having lived for five years in the United States and two in the UK, I am fully comfortable communicating in both Spanish and English.
