Merlin and the Question of Why – A First Ascent Between Wind, Water and Vertical Rock
A wall that rises straight out of the sea. A boat rocking in restless swell. And a line that did not exist until now. Sailing Kooks is our new route on the wild northern coast of the Greek island of Amorgos. A first ascent that demanded everything from us and reminded us why we climb in the first place: for freedom, for adventure, and for the feeling of truly being outdoors.

Reaching New Heights at the Marmot Via Ferrata Camp
The Marmot Via Ferrata Camp was organized in collaboration with the Aktiv am Berg Mountain School. Our goal was to combine an active mountain weekend with high-quality Marmot apparel. The test gear provided gave all participants a chance to really get to know the products and Marmot’s brand philosophy firsthand. After all, Marmot’s commitment to quality and durability is captured perfectly in their slogan: “Tested. Worn. Loved.”

Reaching for more: Reimagining the motivation to climb
This is the kind of question I get asked a lot, from friends, climbers I know, climbers I don’t know, non-climbers and I even ask it myself. The answers come easily; there is always something, always a project, a trip, a plan or an adventure. For years now, decades even, I’d find a rapid answer in the form of some desperate climb, something really hard, close to impossible
