Ester Sabadell

Bio:

Ester began practicing mountaineering since she was 16 years old. At the beginning she started doing some nice randonées around the Pirinees but soon discovered, without knowing it, that it would become her life. After discovering high mountain climbing (Alpin climb style) she started to practice in 2001 Alpinism in a more active and professional way. Ester is actually part of the "Al Filo de lo Impossible" team, an adventure TV show which has won many international awards. As an economist (degree in enterprise leadership & economy) she is also part of a cooperation project with the town of Hushé, north of Pakistán, taking care of its economic aspects. This project is leaded by Sarabastall – Al Filo de lo Impossible
