Stop Dreaming, Start Planning

#SALEWAFACES

Most things I had planned this spring and summer have either been cancelled or have needed some heavy adaption: I'd hoped to compete in at least two hike and fly races, two Wolrd Cup events, and our US Nationals events. This new reality needed a little change in plans.

The forecast for the next few hours is rain. A lot of rain. But we really want to get away and go back to the mountains. What should we do? Head up anyway or sit this one out?

A Trekking Adventure: The Corsican journey

#SALEWAFACES

Of course, there are thousands of places where you can experience the wild beauty of nature without going very far from home. Between France and Italy, in the middle of the Mediterranean, there is an island that perfectly embodies this wild splendour: Corsica.

Last week I climbed one of the routes I’ve dreamt about: La Résistance” at Schleier Wasserfall. This route means a lot to me because I was not sure if it would work.

A SPEED HIKING ADVENTURE:
IT’S NOT A GAME

#SALEWAFACES

It would be unimaginable that people whose job it is to develop, design and create tools to live your dreams in the mountains were not themselves eager to spend in the mountains as much time as possible.

ANTIFRAGILITY

#SALEWAFACES

Sometimes life calls us to face challenges which we would never have wanted to deal with. You can run away, or else you can tackle your fears. That is how tragedies become legends.

THERE IS NOBODY

#SALEWAFACES

There are moments in which you have to dig deep within yourself. This can only happen when you climb up a mountain, on your own.
