8 + 2 – 3 = 7
That´s not how I used to teach mathematics when I worked in school some years ago. No, it´s how our group changed in terms of their entirety during the trip.

Tohu-bohu

I just want to tell you something about last time depending my rockside. It was a sweet time to relive again everyday life as a climber back home in Austria.
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 …

Alone

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 …

Salathe

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 …

Golden Gate

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 …

Rodellar and so on …

I did many big walls in my life. Some have been focused more on climbing, some more on working, hauling and suffering. Recently I visited the sportclimbing hotspot Rodellar in Spain. And to be honest. On some routes I wished to have a portaledge with me to cool down my forearms and spend a night …

Marmolada – FA and FFA rounds

Finally I tell you the stories of my Marmolada season this year. The huge first ascent of “Bruderliebe”, which was so intense for me personally together with my brother Vitus. And then two really cool climbs with my friend Gerry coming out the first free ascent of “Colpo di Coda” and the first ascent of …

Marmolada – further rounds

I spent most of my time during the last periods of good weather on the south face of Marmolada. Around 20 days over the last two month. I was really addicted. Hiking, climbing, brooding over possible free sequenzes and every time getting home tired with new ideas in my mind. It seems that there is …

Every year all the climbing athletes of the Ötztal Tourism Region (David Lama, Barbara Bacher, Sabine Bacher and myself) and some local guides are working togehter for the Climbing Camp Ötztal. It is not a camp to learn boring theoretic stuff. It´s simply about climbing and bouldering by itself. Every group is teached by one …
