Fascination of climbing

I love practicing sports. Besides climbing I like hiking, running or biking.

But climbing is the most fascinating and inspiring sport to me. I am excited about the diversity of this sport, no route is like the other and every route has its own riddles.

Climbing routes are like books, you can interpret each one yourself and have to read in between the moves to find the right grip and step combinations.

 

My parents have always supported me and they are still supporting me wherever they can. Especially my father sacrificed much time for me and even today he is coming along to the trainings and competitions.

 

 

Training

I am mainly in the climbing halls in Imst or Innsbruck. Every now and then I am also training in Dornbirn and Salzburg. In addition I keep in shape doing exercises in the gym Injoy in Imst. My fitness is tested in the Diagnostics & Training Center Thalgau and coordinated by the experts of Red Bull's Athletes Special Projects.

Concerning rock climbing you will meet me in surrounding areas, and if there is time, I like travelling to climbing spots abroad. I like the nature very much; there is nothing more beautiful than climbing on rocks.

 

 

Favorite climbing spots

There is a huge variety of great climbing spots throughout the world and I haven’t seen most of them yet. At the moment I prefer Osp (Slovenia), Massone, Terra Promessa (both Italy) and Baltzola Cave in Spain.

 

 

Spare Time

I regularly enjoy massages of my therapists, I love to relax and I like doing different things with my family, my boyfriend or my friends. In return for my sport, I practise swimming or jogging.
