Sports / Mountaineering
The mountains were part of my climbing early on, for example when I climbed the North Ridge of Piz Badile at eleven. Competitive climbing became the main focus for much of the decade that followed. The desire for bigger adventures never left me. These days, mountaineering, technical rock climbing and ice climbing are some of the most thrilling ways I challenge myself.

Age 11
At eleven, I climbed the North Ridge of Piz Badile — an early experience of long routes, exposure and moving through mountain terrain.
Kastor · Engelhörner2026
A 550-metre alpine route in the Engelhörner, with sustained climbing up to 7b+ over a long day on the wall.
Troja · Wendenstöcke2026
A 230-metre alpine multipitch on the steep limestone of the Wendenstöcke, with climbing up to 7a+. Two hundred and thirty metres does not sound like much until you are halfway up it and the ground has gone.
Alpine climbing asks for more than climbing difficulty. I continue to build experience across trad, ice and the technical skills needed for longer mountain routes.
01 / Trad climbing
Long trad multipitch
Squamish · Sep 2022
I climbed The Grand Wall in Squamish, a long trad multipitch on the Stawamus Chief. Placing protection, reading cracks and route finding made the decision-making part of the climbing itself.

Climbing on ice with tools and crampons brings a different set of movement, conditions and judgement from rock.
