Mountain Guide aka the Physicist

It is a great privilege for me to share my passion with others. The mountains are a place of power for me – a space where you can feel your own limits and grow beyond yourself. It fills me with great joy to create unforgettable experiences and to provide safety as well as lasting, beautiful memories.

Climbing fascinated me as a small boy. During my youth, I took part in competitions and found enjoyment in coaching from the start. During my physics and computer science studies in Innsbruck, I was fascinated by big walls. Later, I went to India to climb Shivling (6543m) and El Capitan in Yosemite. I love testing my own limits.
