Lilly is an all-around visual artist and climber from Cebu, Philippines. She is engaged in the development and promotion of the local climbing scene.
She started climbing in 2016 and became a crucial member of Cebu Rock Climbing Community. The fun and inspiring crew became her escape from work and city life. She has then shared her skills in whatever way possible for the growth of the sport and of the community. Most importantly, she likes to show what a person is capable of achieving, the barriers/limits they push, the doubts they conquer, and the pure joy that climbing gives, through her photos.
Often introspective and reserved, Lilly allows her climbing to do most of the talking. When she is on the rocks, Lilly is uninhibited and relentless. The challenge in finishing a route is fun and fulfilling for her---making what seems impossible possible is a clincher like no other.
