8 questions with Thomas

Something on your bucket list

Too many... big wall climbing expedition to Greenland is high on the life time climbing bucket list.

Your favorite mountain snack

Swiss milk chocolate.

Your hidden talent

I am a walking climbing guidebook.

A moment you’ll never forget

It's more a year than a moment. In 2017, together with my girlfriend, we left our jobs and apartment to go on a year-long climbing and surfing trip that took us to many incredible places around the world.

What you love most about climbing

I just love to move on the rocks and find my own challenges. Climbing is super diverse and never the same. And you will often do it in some of the most beautiful landscapes.

Your top tip for other climbers

Always focus on technique before power, especially in the first years. it will take you further in the longterm and prevent you from injuries.

Something you’d like to learn

Paragliding.

Your message to the outdoor community

Our sport is growing fast lately and more and more people are going climbing outdoors. therefore i think it is now very important that we take care of the nature and the climbing spots, but also the climbing culture and the ethics, that were built in the past.
