Ines' Highlights
Stories of Rock and Ice
Over the past 15 years I have accumulated an extensive list of sport and mountaineering highlights that I am proud of. It is not the name and reputation of a mountain or route that attracts my attention. I am also not interested in “first female ascents” or other over-marketed commercial goals. I’d rather try to go my own way and devote myself to mentally challenging projects, such as ascents of difficult bolt-free trad routes.
