ABOUT ME
I’m a rock climber and former competition climber from Innsbruck, Austria, with a passion and love for travelling, visiting the best climbing spots out there and trying to push my limits physically and mentally, inspiring people to do the same.
I love to discover all aspects of climbing – bouldering, lead climbing, multipitch climbing, big walls or DWS. I like to push my limits and to constantly try something new. This also applies to my activity as a paraclimbing coach.
