My vocation: Mountain guide ;-)
My favorite season & why: Every season; there’s always something to do.

The terrain which challenges me the most: Alpine rock routes, where I am climbing at my climbing limit.
Favorite place(s): Karwendel, Schüsselkar and Patagonia
What motivates me? The desire to see new places and areas.
What a training week looks like: Mostly decided spontaneously, depending on conditions! On average I do something 6x per week.
