Một trong những vị khách nữ leo núi đầu tiên chinh phục các tường đá của Push - Ranya dành một khoảnh khắc để kể về hành trình leo núi của chính mình từ cảm giác thú vị đến vị trí nữ hoàng.

Tại sao bạn bắt đầu leo núi?

“I started climbing because I was looking for a rush. I used to perform on stage, then took to extreme activities like cliff jumping, and even tried sky diving. I just loved that feeling I got when I was terrified – terrified but so excited.

Khi tôi leo núi lần đầu tiên, tôi nhớ rằng càng leo cao, cảm giác kích thích đó càng trở nên mạnh mẽ và thú vị. Đó là cảm giác đầy hồi hộp. Từ đó, tôi bắt đầu nghiện bộ môn này.

Climbing is a way for me to constantly challenge myself, it’s made me stronger and a lot more brave.

Làm sao mà bạn đã đến với Push?

“I first climbed in Canada in 2012 but it was too expensive for me to get serious about. The first time I went to Push was in 2016, my second year in Vietnam. I worked with a friend of Paul who invited me there for the day. Why Push? The community! The first time I went to Push I was nervous because I wasn’t an experienced climber but everyone there was so supportive and welcoming. Paul was an amazing coach and really cared about all his clients. The climbers who were there and the staff were always so helpful and supportive. We would talk about routes, swap tips and genuinely cheer each other on when we got stuck on moves.

I would usually climb for an hour or so and then sit and chat with everyone for three. It was always a fun time.”

Nữ hoàng của trò xếp hộp!

“Heheheh. Actually, Stacking was such a fluke! I was at Push the first day they introduced it and on my first go I stacked 18 crates. I loved the challenge and how scary it got once the stack started to sway in the wind. I was able to compete in three crate stack competitions, getting 1st, 2nd and 3rd places in the process.”

Mẹo cho những người muốn xếp hộp giống bạn là?

“Stacking requires a lot of balance and focus, my only tip would be to take it slow and not to rush.”

Từ THE rush, to no rush. Cảm ơn Ranya
