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.
What products do i use?
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

Jordi Molist - SPAIN
Born in September 2009, Jan Molist is already making waves in the world of competitive climbing. Based in Barcelona, this young athlete has quickly established himself as one of the most promising talents in both bouldering and lead climbing.
Training with the prestigious CCT21—the first private competition climbing team—and as a dedicated member of the CTEEC (Centre de Tecnificació d'Escalada Esportiva de Catalunya), Jan has honed his skills and technique to a level that belies his age. His disciplined training regime and passion for the sport have led him to impressive national and regional competitions throughout Catalunya and Spain.
Every summer, Jan takes his talent to the great outdoors, scaling the rugged rock faces of Rodellar, where the natural challenges further sharpen his climbing abilities. This blend of indoor training and outdoor adventure not only fuels his competitive spirit but also deepens his understanding of the sport’s nuances.
Looking ahead to 2025, Jan is set to compete in the European Competitions in the lead discipline, where his talent and relentless drive will undoubtedly make a mark on the international stage. Jan Molist’s journey is a testament to youthful determination and the pursuit of excellence.

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!

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!
