Mountain girl, Syaza Adilah talks about her wanderlust in climbing mountains, and her future climbing goals.
Despite her tiny figure, 26-year-old Syaza is not afraid of conquering mountains. Although her asthma problems had kept her away from climbing at first, her determination got the better of her. Today, she is living her dream, being at the peak of every mountain she could climb. “I am just happy to achieve my goal of hiking one mountain a month, and I’m always excited for new adventures,” says Syaza, as she goes with the hashtag #Adela1Month1Mount on her Instagram.
How it began
“I started climbing in 2013 when I thought I had a midlife crisis. I love the outdoors and involved myself in various outdoor activities like cycling during my university years and continued to do more of hiking in last two years. I was a girl scout during primary and secondary school. That’s how my love for the outdoors began.
The inspiration
“I’m inspired by the beauty of the landscape after a hard climb. Every peak is a beautiful picture of nature and different terrains. Everyone can fly on a plane and look out the window but for me, it’s not good enough. When I climb a mountain, I’ve earned the view, and the sights and smells that come with it.
