It is my privilege to share my passion with you. The mountains are a place of power for me – a place where you can feel your own limits and where you are able to grow. It makes me happy to share unforgettable moments. It is my pleasure to make your adventure safe and turn your days in the mountains into beautiful memories.

Coming from plastic to the rock

As a young boy I was fascinated by rock climbing in an instance. During my childhood I took part in competitions and had big joy in training others.

During my physics and computer science studies in Innsbruck I developed a love for big walls. I was attracted by destinations all over: I went on expedition to Shivling (6543m) in India and to El Capitan in Yosemite Valley. I love it to test out my own limits.
