This essay seeks to reflect on climbing in a natural environment as an emancipatory practice, as a way for the practitioner to leave a given condition and free from pre-established norms, being able to transform himself along the way, feeling integrated to the environment, powerfully bodily and with sharp senses. For this, an analysis of the flow theory presented by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi is made, relating the elements of enjoyment listed by the author as present in the optimal experience, with the potentialities of the body in movement in the climbing perceived and analyzed by Michel Serres. From this relationship, the term body-in-flow is proposed as a specific body quality in which the practitioner surpasses himself, in a process of differentiation and integration, detaching himself from preconceptions in order to see himself and the world from another perspective. The necessary training for the practice, the risks involved in the action and the quality of the experience undertaken are investigated.

Keywords : Climbing; Risk; Training; Human body.
