Ms. Namita Nayyar: Rock Climbing requires a lot of outdoor training and activity. Share with us your skincare and haircare routine that you follow to cope up with the strenuous training?
Ms. Magdalena Röck: Yes, it is true, that I am spending much time outdoors, despite the fact, that most of my training takes place indoors.
Hard training surely affects skin and hair, but especially skincare. Because of the rough surface that climbing holds it is common that the skin of your fingertips is sore. To help curing the harmed skin I apply a special ointment on the relevant places.
Considering my haircare, I have no need in treating them in another way as other athletes of other sports. But generally I try to use natural cosmetic products.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: Other than climbing, are there any other sports that you like to indulge in?
Ms. Magdalena Röck: The pure climbing training lasts 4-6 hours at least 5 times a week. That’s why I can only practice other sports in an entirely regenerative way. Because living in the midst of the Tyrolean mountains I have plenty possibilities. I am really into running in the woods, hiking on the mountains and doing ski tours.

This moment was the reward of years of hard work. The only thing what really changed after my victory were the expectations of my surrounding and of course myself.
