Athlete Bio

There was a day, when I suddenly woke up and saw the sky above me. I was blinking into the sun and felt somehow dizzy. I realized that I was not able to move my body and knew at that instant that I had broken my neck.....(I fell down a cliff of about 30 meters)            

This happened 3 years ago...but I had the chance to get back...so I worked hard... and now I can go out and do what I truly love, climbing beautiful rocks!


How did you get started climbing?

I've got started with my family in the Alps.

 

How old were you when you started?

I was 20 years old when I started sport climbing, but I already have been alpine-climbing as a young girl.

 

Who or what inspired you to start climbing?

Who... My dad is a mountain guide and always went with me in the mountains. That was my first relation to mountain sports.

What...the rocks with their lines and that I got better really fast 

 

What was your first outdoor climb?

 I really can´t remember my first outdoor climb, but one of the imposing routes during my alpine-climbing time was the "badillekante".

 

Any training advice or suggestions?

Ignore your disablitites and push your actual strength...haha

 

If you could have 1 superpower what would it be?

I wouldn´t never reveal this superpower :-)

 

If you could have 3 wishes, what would they be? (no wishing for more wishes)

I hate these wishes, because when you know that something will always be there or never happen life must be really boring.

 

What was your favorite childhood cartoon?

"Biene Maya"
