The dates which absolutely need to go into your diary are 28, 29 and 30 September but …

Recently I travelled to Patagonia´s Torre Egger together with Much Mayr. The trip ended in an attempt to open a new route on La Silla Westface together with Mario Walder and Thomas Huber. Our plans for Torre Egger were killed by the poor conditions during our stay.
Enjoy a short trailer about our experience. …

Sometimes you don´t have to travel around the world to find inspiring lines. Just bethink oneself what you have seen where you grew up. Recently I experienced one of my greatest adventure for a long time on a wall at the very end of my home valley, which I knew already for a few years. …

I just want to tell you that I became a new ambassador of the European Outdoor Conservation Association (EOCA). The EOCA was created in June 2006 following a desire by the Outdoor Industry to collectively “put something back” into the environment that it cared about so passionately – as well as depended on …

To be honest, I felt a little bit drained after the last free solo climb on Schüsselkarspitze. But the conditions for climbing have been just like …

I was thinking a lot about this post. But finally I decided to tell the story, because it´s somehow important to me. Maybe it´s also worth concerning the history of alpinism, but maybe it´s not. I don´t know.
Last days have been really intense. I don´t know why, but I played the match again. I walked …

I am still in the Valley for two more days before I will return back to Austria on the weekend to get ready for my next project. Climbing on some really cool boulder problems and doing some of the classic crack lines is our main activity over the last days of the trip. It is …

Ground-up freeclimbing on El Capitan is one of the most exciting things you can do. For sure the first days, gaining ground and doing all the hauling, sucks. But anyway. If you once arrive on the upper part – crazy shit man.
I teamed up with Hazel Findlay from UK, a really strong trad climber based …
