Fascination of climbing

Climbing is the most 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. As I have stopped my competition climbing career in the year 2013, I regularly climb outdoors on rocks in diverse crags near my homeplace and abroad. While I was fighting for the victory in a comp in earlier times, I am pushing myself in hard projects on the rock nowadays.

The first three years after birth I lived in Jerzens, in the home region of my parents before we moved to Arzl in Pitztal. After my first victories at international comps its municipality appointed myself as an honorary citizen, which title I still appreciate a lot! Finally, at the age of 11 I attended the climbing school in Imst and my passion for climbing began. Since then, Imst became my homeregion for climbing, where I still train in its gym and climb on the surrounded rocks. My all time favourite place is the idyllic landscape of the Muttekopfgebiet in this region. There, I enjoy climbing and hiking to replenish my mental energy! I really like travelling throughout the whole world to explore different places but everytime I get homesick and need to return back in my homeregion Imst!
