Daila Ojeda: ‘You have to learn how to fall in order to progress in climbing.’
After trying many sports – and progressing in all of them – Daila Ojeda (Gran Canaria, 1981) took up climbing and, despite being very strong, she was unable to progress.

Daila Ojeda has returned to her personal best with the redpoint of American Hustle 8c, in Contrafort de Rumbau, Oliana. The Canary Islander currently divides her time between Italy and Catalonia and chose American Hustle as her main project for the winter season.

Daila Ojeda has travelled all over the world climbing, but until recently she had never linked more than two pitches. This changed after her trip to Montserrat, where she climbed the “Directa de L’amistat” route (8a, 280m).

Attracted by the beauty and aesthetics of the route, the Canarian climbs “Menhir”, a line surrounded by a great alpine atmosphere.
