About
I was born together with a twin sister, which shaped my life in many ways. I believe in strong partnerships and the positive power to grow by it through interaction. I learnt to exchange ‚natural competition‘ with ‚combining forces‘ through a shared passion. Weather I’m tying myself on a rope with a partner or my team high up on a mountain, on a steep icefall, or in life: every single achievement is never done alone but with the trust, support and synergy of your team-mates and partners.
Extreme ice climbing, mountaineering or extrem endurance endeavours are a way for me to challenge myself by willingly confronting an extremely stressful situation and dealing with it. For me it´s about personal growth and a way of finding balance.
Achievements:

As a passionate Athlete you can also frequently find me on a training session, which contains Racing bike, MTB, Skimountaineering, Trailrunning, rock-climbing and Drytooling.
One of my key achievements is completing the `Tour di Gran Paradiso' twice with 5500 vertical meters and 60 km in under 24 hours.
In 2017 I did it together with my Teammates in 19 hours and 6 minutes, which is till now the fasted time ever.
Furthermore I've completed the `Tour di Mt. Blanc' with more than 8000 verticals and 330km in under 24 hours with the Racing Bike.
I set my personal record for the 1000 verticals on the Racing bike on the legendary ascent of Colle San Carlo in 53 minutes.
