Climbing and my appreciation for nature are totally intertwined.

Climbing is actually a great sport for blind people and that carried me on to climbing bigger and bigger mountains, snowy mountains, ice faces, and developing different techniques to be able to do that.

Every piton crack, every handhold is a vertical one. Special techniques and equipment have evolved through absolute necessity.
