Aspar Jaelolo, The Big Dream of a Climber

Indonesian climber Aspar Jaelolo shows the mental steel of a climber. He was not defeated by the obstacles that came repeatedly, one of which was injured. That's because his big dream is to win Olympic gold in 2024.

Indonesian rock climbing athlete Aspar Jaelolo won the 12th series of the 2022 Rock Climbing World Cup in the men's speed category at SCBD Park, Jakarta, Saturday (24/9/2022).

Indonesia’s sport climbing ace, Aspar Jaelolo, 34, with his mental strength and plenty of guts, is capable of rising to the top. All his wins have stemmed from the big dream he continues to cherish, which is to win an Olympic gold before he retires as a professional athlete.

“Your athletes should look out, I’m back again,” Aspar jokingly said to his foreign peers, who were cheering after he won the speed climbing gold medal on Sunday (24/9/2022) during the 12th stage of the 2022 Sport Climbing World Cup at SCBD Park in Jakarta.
