Rock climbing in the Philippines has only been around the scene for 2 decades and though the sport took on a slow steady growth in the country at first, the community and the awareness on it are gaining momentum.
Through the efforts of climbers with so much passion for the sport, like Miel Pahati, one of the top Filipino climbers today, and Southeast Asia’s largest outdoor sports and recreation store, Recreational Outdoor eXchange (R.O.X.), that has supported many of the country’s extreme sports athletes through an array of premium sports brands under their network, rock climbing in the Philippines is getting much needed support.
Coming back from his recent trip from Greece, participating in The 2014 The North Face Kalymnos Climbing Festival trying out routes and meeting the legends of climbing, Miel has a lot of stories and learnings to share to the climbing community.
While there is already an influx of support from climbing communities in other countries, support from the local climbing community here in the Philippines is also on its way.
Rock climbing in the Philippines has come a long and is still growing as more and more people are getting into the sport. Visit www.climbphilippines.com to know more about rock climbing in the Philippines.
