Jansen Ko (Sponsored Climber, Coach) began his love affair with rock-climbing in 2004 while representing Temasek Junior College’s climbing team. The moving meditation that is climbing captured his imagination right from the very beginning. Through his years of pursuing excellence in the sport, Jansen has constantly pushed and surpassed personal boundaries, both physical and mental. The death of fellow climber (from brain cancer) hit home the message of the brevity of life, and each time he is climbing he gives his all.

Doris Lin’s (Sponsored Climber) earliest memory of climbing was when she was a teeny toddler bridging up the doorframe of her room. After dabbling with several sports, it's safe to say that Doris finally felt at home when she joined her university Climbing team in mid-2007. The focus needed to climb hard has kept Doris hooked - she uses climbing as an opportunity to hone her mental skills both on and off the wall. Contained within her short physical demeanour is grit and determination shaped by climbing over the last few years. Doris hopes to use climbing as an opportunity to show that nothing is impossible.
