Rock climbing with Chechu Arribas
Rock climbing for me is one of my favorite disciplines and one of the ones I have been practicing the longest as an athlete, so the transition to climbing photography was a natural process for me.
I have the firm belief that in order to get the most out of a sport in terms of photography, you have to be a great connoisseur of it, that gives you the possibility of anticipating situations and thus capturing the right moment that you're looking at every photograph.
In this type of photography, a series of technical knowledge is needed to be able to be in the correct place on the shot you are looking for, know how to climb a fixed rope, set up meetings, descend to a specific point and above all be autonomous without disturbing the protagonist whom we are going to photograph.
In short, a sport that motivates me to practice and photograph where the action sometimes happens very quickly, and where experience and hours on the wall play in your favor when it comes to getting the photo.
I leave you some images of the warriors and warriors giving everything face to the wall.
