Climbing (10) Culture (25) Kultur (1) Nature (13)

Capturing cultural richness and natural beauty through the written word and photography. My work shares the beauty of our world, promotes cultural understanding, and ignites a sense of curiosity in others. My photographs capture blinks from each country I visited, from portraits to street scenes, from breathtaking landscapes or more specifically climbing destinations. With every article and photograph shared, I celebrate diversity, foster a sense of wanderlust, and transport the readers to the awe-inspiring destinations I have explored.

Life isn't about your age. Life is about living. Life isn't about your age. Life is about living. 

Yesterday I celebrated my 40ths and climbed Diedro Martini - a grand classic  trad route of Cima all Coste and couldn't be more thankful about my lovely climbing partner as he surprised me with birthday cards all the way up the 500m multi pitch.

Looking forward to the next decade with plenty of wonderful friends and awesome climbing. 🥰❤️

On the way to #pizroseg from the #schneekuppe Asce On the way to #pizroseg from the #schneekuppe Ascent through the so-called #eselsgrat / #middlemoregrat.

The first ascent of the Schneekuppe was already in August 1863. Two years later a group of three mountaineers reached the highest point of the mountain Piz Roseg:  A. W. Moore and Horace Walker with guide Jakob Anderegg.

The way to Piz Roseg is pretty steep but the firn was in good conditions. Unfortunately our roped party of three ran out of time to reach the top of Piz Roseg so we turned around without summiting.

“The summit is what drives us, but the climb its “The summit is what drives us, but the climb itself is what matters.” – Conrad Anker

Europe's highest peak, Mount Elbrus (5642m) is an easy climb but can have very harsh weather conditions. When I climbed Elbrus in August our acclimatisation climb was awfully cold and windy and I thought I am not gonna make it to the peak. But on our summit climb we had the best weather since months: sunny and calm. Downside: an overcrowded peak, bustling and cramped. Climbing Elbrus can be called a tourist trap because of the easy climb and the comfort to get up using cable cars and snow cats. But do not underestimate the altitude. The mountain causes a lot of deaths because it  is technically so easy and attracts a lot of inexperienced climbers.
