Enrico Baistrocchi

ABOUT:

100% Made in Italy. I was born and raised in Milan and in 2015 I moved with my Family to the US, San Diego, CA.

The passion for Rock Climbing made me building my career as a competitive Athlete first then as a Setter and a Coach immediately after. Once I started climbing, I never stopped and I never forgot where everything started: the Rock. I’m still bushwacking around to find new lines, with unique rock or features, to brush, bolt, and jump on.

LaSportiva has been with me since I’ve started climbing and is supporting me since 1996: I’ve never climbed in anything else and I couldn’t be more proud to share my passion for climbing wearing those shoes.

PROUDEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

1. Every time I look at my Family.
2. Mostly of the Routes and Boulders I brushed, bolted and freed.
3. First time I wore the Italian Senior National Team jersey…1996.
4. First time I wore the IFSC Routesetter Jacket…as an IFSC Setter, 2012.
5. Everytime I see a kid I used to coach, or I’m still coaching, becoming a great human being and a successful athlete, setter or coach him/herself.
