What fascinates me about climbing? Exploring new territory! What makes me strong? Physical power that I train hard for, mental resilience and emotional strength, decisiveness and endless curiosity. Plus the quality time I cherish - whether at home with my son, family and friends, or on the road with my team.
The mountains have taught me how much strength we carry within us.
That is exactly what I want to pass on: encouraging women to find their own path, pursue their goals with passion and discover a strength in the mountains that goes far beyond climbing.
With the renovation of two old stone houses, we have created a place of community for climbers and those who love nature.
