Second episode of 2026! 🔥

This week on Rock and Rice, we sit down with Manila-based power couple Dane & Magnet — self-dubbed serial projectors who’ve been quietly stacking some of the biggest sends of 2025.

From Magnet’s epic last-go send of Ben & Be (7c+/5.13a) in Igbaras… to Power & Pinesse, White Flower, and the mental chess match of projecting at your limit — this one is all about the highs, the almosts, and why “di araw araw pasko” (not every day is Christmas).

We talk:

• The psychology of projecting
• Booking climbing trips just to stay motivated
• Why only ONE person is allowed to be crazy at a crag
• Igbaras vs. Cantabaco
• And what it really means to take small wins

If you’ve ever left a trip without a send… this episode is for you.
