Alejandra (Alita) Contreras

short bio from enormocast

“Alita was born in Venezuela to a Colombian father who taught his child to love the traditions and legends of Colombia.

At University while studying languages, Alita found climbing, and soon, she was pining to leave her rainy and relatively rockless home for destinations worldwide.

Stints in Germany and Canada introduced her to the world of climbing coaching and she brought her own ideas of that craft to Colombia where she became a top competitor and then a top outdoor climber and now a coach.

Alita is primed to take a job coaching girls in the States and about to finish a film, Guerreras, about the climbing women of Colombia.”

 

Yes - there’s still time to sponsor the Guerreras Film!

Deadline is December. Contact Alita at alitaclimbing1@gmail.com for info.
