ABOUT

Esteban Mena

“Climbing appeared in my life as a lifeboat; in the beginning, I hated everything about it: the struggle with altitude, the lack of comfort, all the inner battles that one face on the mountains. After a few years of “having to go out there” as a disciplinary measure applied to me as a teenager, I learned that all I hated about climbing was no more than all I hated about myself. With that realization, climbing became my only honest tool to unveil my true self”

The mountains are masters that are constantly teaching me lessons about life and how to face the hardest moments. I’m always open to share these lessons with organizations looking to find motivation and inspiration in these experiences.

COURSES

From basic techniques that will keep you alive in the mountains to the most complicated big wall techniques. I can organize clinics and courses tailored to your needs and goals.

CAMERA MAN

High altitude/wilderness production services. Let me help you tell your story in a way that very few can.  I have participated as cameraman, logistics organizer and production manager in various films around the globe.

TAKE ACTION

In the mountains, I have endured situations when life slips through one’s fingers like sand,

in these moments you realize that inaction unavoidably brings death.

These are a few projects out there that inspire me these days. I invite you to discover and engage!
