Always important to keep on dreaming when a (finger) injurie is changing the game ❤️

on the other side it’s really depressing that I can’t work on my super project @home right now, but on the other side I can focus & train for my other projects & prepare a 100% for the next trip to Rakchham❤️❤️❤️

Still 9 fingers & a body to get in super shape 😉✌️🍀🔥💪🔥

🤬🤬🤬🤬.this is the sound you don’t want to hear….🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Mamamia, what to say: had some great 🌞 days in val masino - exploring old & new lines in the Valley. I enjoyed the silence & last night I went out for a night session again. I was alone, only the wind & some mouses on the spot & highly motivated I made a flash attempt on this line ……until I heard a noise 😂

Back in the days with @geriroc ✌️🥳
When I saw this wall the first time I just could’ve believe it 🎁
The shape, the holds & texture of the rock was so mind blowing 🤩

For us it was the future wall, with so many hardcore projects on one spot. I focused on the middle line which became later “Veccio Leone” - I was close also on the sit, and played around on the other possibilities 💪🥳🎁 The sit to this climb hasn’t been done yet I think?

🤔🤔…a little inflammation in the elbow just changes the game🔥🔥

after super strong times in the Himalayas, I have to take care of my body now. time for Reha climbing & physiothearapy ✌️ but after focusing on single / three move problems for such a long time, it makes fun 🤩to do more moves in a row again....and it's actually great therapy for my body🥳🙏🍀

I hope you can enjoy this great weather & friction.

DEFINING MOMENTS

APRIL 15, 2001

Dreamtime
Tessin, Switzerland

The world’s hardest boulder problem of that time, Dreamtime was the first boulder graded with Fb.8C, opened by legendary Fred Nicole. With this ascent I caught widespread public attention and suddenly stood in the limelight.

MARCH 15, 2003

Boulderer of the Year
Climbing Magazine, USA

In 2003 I was honored for my achievements by renowned Climbing magazine and became the first European climber to win the title: “Boulderer Of The Year“.

OCTOBER 23, 2007

Anam Cara
Galtür, Austria

In 2005 doctors told me for the first time that I will never will be able to crimp on small edges with my left hand again because of a bad finger injury. They told me I will never do hard boulders again, but two years later I proved myself that I can hang on the wildest crimpers again and work on impossible looking features. Anam Cara was big step in my climbing career and mental development … plus, it was one of the hardest climbs in the world back in the day.

APRIL 1, 2009

From the Dirt Grows the Flower
Chironico, Switzerland

Back in 2009: Worldwide, there have been only a few boulder problems and climbers who climbed in the grade 8C. In these days there have been lots of grade discussions within the climbing scene and rumors spreading the web. After making hard first ascents in my home areas of Austria, it was about time to check out “the new standard” put up by US climber Dave Graham and give it a try.

MARCH 11, 2010

Secrets
Switzerland

A two-hour hike into unknown mountain regions and this crazy rock formation was mine. One of my personal top dream lines, unrepeated!

SEPTEMBER 5, 2009

Molecule Man
Berlin, Germany

That would be a great picture my friend told me, while we were on a sightseeing tour in Berlin. A few days later I climbed the Molecule Man statue in the early morning. It was a special event in my life and the view from the top over Berlin was just a unique ... so was the boat ride. 🙂

JUNE 11, 2013

Shantaram
Osen, Norway

Many boulders have inspired me. Shantaram on the small island of Osen, Norway blew my mind. Linking its 23 holds together seemed utopian to me during my first five-week trip in 2012 but inspired by the unique mix of ocean and rocks a year later, I finally conquered the exit handle after another five weeks of intense attempts.

MAY 27, 2015

29.DOTS
Valle dell' Orco, Italy

For many 29.DOTS (Fb.8a+) would have been a sport climb, for me it was the tallest boulder I ever climbed. A very special moment in my climbing career with special preparation to climb such a tall boulder and difficult line without a rope.

APRIL 1, 2017

Into the Sun
Murgtal, Switzerland

After my bad accident on December 29th, 2015 doctors told me I would never climb hard again. 489 days after this fall I succeeded in making the first free ascent. Into the Sun is graded 8c+, as such it checks in as one of the hardest trad climbs in the world, but, far more importantly, it marks an important comeback.

MAY 5, 2019

Il Colonel
Valle dell' Orco

Il Colonel, in the Italian region of Piemont, is an uncompromising dream of a climb. Italian Niky Ceria put up the standstart back in 2017, and right after climbing the standstart, I started looking for a way to solve this sitstart problem. I already had a possible sequence in my mind back in 2015, but I was just too weak after the accident to do so. It remained a dream until 2019. After lots of training and rehabilitation I finally was able to add two super hard moves to the existing boulder problem.

OCTOBER 19, 2020

Grenzenlos
Valle dell' Orco (Italy)

One of the wildest climbs I ever did; very powerful & technical climbing with poor protection. Once you reach the no fall zone, you must be 100% committed to get to the top. This is one of the most beautiful lines I ever climbed. I am so grateful …
