Jim Reilly
No new project happens without someone having a vision and saying, “let's do that in our town!” We are happy to introduce you to the person that had that vision and decided to act on it, Jim Reilly. 1. How long have you been in Tamarindo and why did you move here? I moved to Tamarindo in 2003. I came on vacation and stayed for the surf and the community. Tamarindo was unique in that it had a small town feel with people from all over the world. 2. How long have you been climbing and what brought you to climbing? I have been climbing since 2017. My friend Chad invited me to climb the Grand Teton in Wyoming, which has some technical sections. I agreed before I knew what I was getting into. Once I saw some photos of the climb, I was terrified and decided I had better get some training. I drove down to Climb Nosara and climbed with Steve Way. I absolutely loved it, and I have been hooked ever since. 3. What do you plan to bring to TamaRocks? Lots of stoke. Lots of support for new climbers. Lots of resources and opportunities for advanced climbers. We have big plans… too much to talk about here. ;-) 4. What do you hope TamaRocks will bring to the community? I want TamaRocks to be a positive place for people to do something physical, get off their devices, hang out, climb and connect with other climbers over a shared passion. 1. ¿Cuánto hace que vives en Tamarindo y por qué te mudaste aquí? Me mudé a Tamarindo en el 2003. Vine de vacaciones y me quedé por el surf y la comunidad. Tamarindo era único, con aire de pueblo pequeño y gente de todo el mundo. 2. ¿Cuánto hace que escalas y qué te introdujo a la escalada? He estado escalando desde el 2017. Mi amigo Chad me invitó a escalar en Grand Teton en Wyoming, el cual cuenta con algunas secciones técnicas. Estuve de acuerdo antes de saber en lo que me metía. Cuando vi algunas fotos de la escalada me aterroricé y decidí que debía entrenar. Conduje hasta Climb Nosara y escalé con Steve Way. Me encantó y he estado enganchado desde entonces. 3. ¿Qué planeas aportar a TamaRocks? Mucha emoción, mucho apoyo para los nuevos escaladores además de muchos recursos y oportunidades para los escaladores avanzados. Tenemos grandes planes… demasiado para contarlo todo aquí. 4. ¿Qué esperas que TamaRocks le aporte a la comunidad? Quiero que TamaRocks sea un lugar positivo donde las personas puedan realizar actividad física, dejar de lado sus pantallas,pasar el rato, escalar y conectar con otros escaladores por medio de una pasión compartida.
Eneko Lasa
When the idea of building a climbing gym in Tamarindo came up, we knew Eneko would want to be a part of it and we are psyched to have him! 1.

I want to share the enthusiasm, passion, and joy that the sport of climbing has given me all these years and give others the opportunity to experience the many benefits -physical and mental- of this practice. 4. What do you hope TamaRocks will bring to the community? A space to gather around an activity that will improve people's lives, make friendships, develop new skills and the best of all, have fun in the process. 1. ¿Cuánto hace que vives en Tamarindo y por qué te mudaste aquí?
