2025 Athletes
Introducing Team
ROCK TECH
GB Para Climbers have always been tremendously important to ROCK TECH and we marvel at their levels of achievement which can only come from 100% commitment to their sport.
They are an inspiration to us as I’m sure they are to you.
GB Para Climber Anita Aggarwal
I am 52 years old and living in Derby.
GB Climbing - Para Athlete, living with Multiple Sclerosis since 2009 and beating Cancer. I also have Auditory Processing Disorder. I took up climbing seriously in 2016 joining the GB Team in 2017. I am an RP3 athlete and compete on the IFSC World Cup circuit winning multiple World Cup and World Championship Medals.
To me, climbing is a place where you can socialise and meet people and a sport where age and fitness don't matter.
I work as an Inclusive Climbing Coach, bringing climbing to all—working with all ages. I specialise in coaching people with conditions, including Blindness, Missing Limbs, ADHD, Autism, Anxiety, Asperger’s, Depression, Down syndrome, Learning Disabilities, Cerebral palsy, and the LGBT+ and BIPOC community. This is my passion, and I am always on the lookout for future Paraclimbers, so watch out. I might run up to you and start talking to you if I see you.
MAG zero Ultimate Low Hydrate Chalk is an all-around product that works for me at home and in countries where my hands are sweaty and stay on longer than any other product. Less chalking up and more time climbing.
MAG liquid blue (rosin-free) - dries fast, lasts ages on my hands, is really good when it is raining and there is high humidity in competitions, and is small enough to fit in a boulder bucket.
In 2025 I will be competing in multiple World Cups and aim to attend the World Championships in South Korea.
Preferred climbing style: Bouldering/Sport Climbing

Stefan Hochbaum - GERMANY
My name is Stefan (Stevie) Hochbaum, I am 31 years old and been climbing for 16 years now. Currently living in Germany.
I am usually climbing on rock and totally love board climbing. Since day one I fell in love with bouldering outside and since then try to search and repeat lines which inspires me the most. Bouldering on granit I prefer the most. The Gneis in Switzerland, especially in Ticino is the best rock I`ve ever touched. Traveling and climbing means pure freedom for me and that’s why I will never stop climbing and exploring.
I send boulder up to 8c and still try to push my limits even further to reach the next step.
MagZero from RT is my absolute favorite product. Keeping my skin dry and letting me climb even in bad conditions either when it’s too hot or the rock feels slightly wet. MAGzero has been an absolute game changer for me.
When I’m travelling, the weather can change everyday, so I want to make sure to still be able to climb at my limit. Luckily this chalk allows me to climb even in bad conditions. Happy to be part of the RT family.

Max Haworth - UK
I’m Max. I’m 21 years old and I have now been bouldering for over 6 years!
Having recently moved to Sheffield, Im finding myself up in the Peak District most days, making my way through all of the Gritstone classics one boulder at a time.
I love bouldering as it allows me to explore new places and meet new people, all while challenging myself to become the best I am capable of and being on the final stages of recovery from some finger injuries, I’m more excited than ever to start pushing myself once more.
My favourite place bouldering has taken me is Ticino, Switzerland, an absolute must visit spot for the keen climbers, containing some of the worlds greatest and hardest boulders. I’m hoping someday soon I will get to return and crush some more classics.

Jay Williams - WALES
My name is Jay Williams and I am a 23 year old that has been climbing for 4 years!
Climbing at this point has become more than just a hobby, It is something I am certain I will continue to do for the rest of my life. At first climbing likely drew me in due to my natural ability and fast progress with reaching 8A/V11 in a short period of 1 year and 6 months, this however has evolved into the love of climbing for the movement and physical challenge without the need to chase a number.
No doubt I am going to push myself to my physical limit and in turn these objective numbers will follow, but along the way I am excited to smell the flowers and continue to travel the world scaling more arbitrary rocks.
For now however my main goal is to recover some injuries I have picked up ready for the season ahead.
I also recently competed in IPF powerlifting for Wales in a year hiatus from climbing due to life changes which was a new and fun challenge. After 6 months of dedicated training I was able to podium in 2nd place!

Arthur Le Bris - France
”I'm Arthur Le Bris, a 22-year-old French professional climber and climbing has been my passion since I first set foot on a climbing wall at age 11. My main focus? Bouldering competitions — where power, precision and creativity come together. But when I’m not competing on plastic, you’ll find me outside, seeking out the purest rock lines.
One of my biggest achievements so far? Climbing my first 8C, Big Island in Fontainebleau—an unforgettable challenge that pushed my limits like never before.
Through every session, every send, and every challenge, Rock Technologies has had my back. I’ve been part of the RT team for years now and I couldn’t be more grateful for their support. When it comes to chalk, Mag Zero is my go-to product as it’s super dry, long-lasting and the best for keeping my grip solid from the first move to the last.
See you soon on the walls!

Sean Henchion - Ireland
My main climbing focus is competition, but I love to get out on real rock if the time allows. My long term goals include Olympic Games, World Cups and reaching my limit on outdoor sport climbing and bouldering.
I love competition climbing as it forces me to push my limits . Competition climbing isn’t just about being the strongest, it rewards grit, mental strength, problem solving, ability to stay cool under pressure to name a few. The challenge, the adrenaline and the constant pursuit of mastery make it incredibly rewarding.
Most importantly of all, it’s really fun!
I’ve been lucky to have had the opportunity to travel for climbing, seeing beautiful places and making lots of friends.
My favourite RT products are MagZero and the impressive Climbing Tape. MagZero is vital for competing at hot humid European summer competitions and gives me confidence to stick to holds. I use the sticky tape to help my skin with a high training volume.
In 2025 I will be competing at many international youth competitions and aim to win European youth cups and survive school exams!

Arthur Rebollo - France
”I’ve been climbing for 12 years, with a strong focus on indoor bouldering and competition climbing. My passion for the sport has only grown over the years and my ultimate goal is to win the World Championships. I’ve been working hard to push my limits, physically but also mentally.
Bouldering for me isn’t just a sport, but it’s also a community; I love training and I do so everyday, but the friends I found while training is also what pushes me to be better. Climbing isn’t all about physical performance, it’s also teaching me patience and perseverance, values that I respect and want to incarnate in and outside of climbing.
In addition to my focus on competition, I recently won the 2025 Dockmasters, which has been a huge milestone in my climbing career. It’s been a thrilling journey and I’m driven by the challenge of facing some of the world’s best climbers.
All in all, I’m excited to see where my climbing journey takes me! I’m stoked to be part of the Rock Technologies family and to have their support as I continue chasing my competition goals."

Ben Pestell - UK
”My name is Ben and I am a true weekend warrior, balancing climbing with my full time work as an NHS Physiotherapist.
I am 23 years old and have been bouldering for 7 years and an ambassador for Rock Technologies for 3 of those years. Since joining this amazing team I have progressed significantly and have recently found myself at the top of a few 8B boulders including the classic The Ace. Bigger and better goals have now been set!
I climb predominantly in the Peak District enjoying both the classics and some of the harder challenges. I love climbing and in particular bouldering as it has a great social aspect; regularly meeting new people.

Arlo Rogers - South Wales
”Hey! I'm Arlo, a 22-year-old climber currently living in south Wales.
I have been climbing for over 10 years and love sport climbing, trad climbing and bouldering. One of my favorate routes climbed is Estado Critico 9a in Siurana, I particularlly enjoy these long endurance fests. Since being in South Wales I have enjoyed bolting some new routes, with my favorite being Importunity 8c, Sustained Power endurance on Zulu Wall. Mag zero liquid came in clutch on this one saving me from chalking up through the sustained crux which was always a bit “smeggy”. In the past few years my climbing has taken me all over the place and I have spent the last three summers living in my car travelling. I've particularly enjoyed spending time in Ceuse, Rawyl and the Verdon George on the longer endurance routes. On the side of my degree, I also enjoy route setting as a creative outlet and as a way to fund my climbing trips.

Arlo Levy - UK
”Hi I'm Arlo aged 16 and I've been climbing for around 7 years.
I really enjoy it and have been part of the England climbing team for the past 2 years. Being part of the England Climbing Team has really helped me enhance my skills and where I have been training hard to get me to the next level.
My preferred style is bouldering as I have done it for longer but I've slowly began to like lead climbing more.

My favourite Rock Tech products I predominantly choose to use is the MAG liquid blue and the new non mined MAG Orange crunchy chalk. They keep your hands super dry and chalked up for a long time.

Manuel Wiegel - Germany
”My name is Manuel Wiegel and I’m a professional route setter and climber from Germany. Creativity in setting and finding solutions in tricky boulder problems, as well as fresh ideas for designing holds, volumes and climbing walls, is my speciality.
I started climbing in my childhood and ever since I spent most of my time in bouldering gyms or at the crag. I appreciate the climbers’ life because I value the outdoors, surrounded by nature with people that have the same values as I have. It’s a simple but precious life.
Climbing and especially bouldering is the physical and mental grapple with a movement or set of movements that seem to be undoable or hard at first sight, but once I have found the solution it feels much easier. Although I climb in the FB 8thgrade, the difficulty itself is not very important for me, primarily the complexity and uniqueness of a movement and the process of unravelling the problem matters. This is the essence of climbing for me that I try to bring into the gyms whenever I set.
My route setting career began around 2006 and after a few years of learning and gaining experience I was poised for working as a freelancer in climbing gyms all over the world, developing my unique setting style that incorporates a well-balanced relationship between form and function. The unswerving search for new movements fuelled my experimental setting approach that generally results in tricky and sophisticated boulder problems. I’m regularly setting for national and international competitions comps like European Championships 2022, European Youth Championships 2023, European Cup Munich 2025, Studio Bloc Masters and Dock Masters.
I‘m grateful to have RT as my daily chalk and tape supplier. Couldn‘t imagine any working day or climbing trip without Mag Zero in my rucksack. Amazing super dry and long-lasting chalk for solid grip on plastic and all types of rock. Great tape holding my fingers together on intense climbing and setting sessions.
