Skyrunning
Christian Stangel’s passion is called sky running. The discipline aims at reaching the peak of a mountain in great heights and the point of departure in record time.
Elbrus
Mount Elbrus from a rather new perspective during a B.A.S.E project. Discovering places that are off the normal routes constitutes an important element of my work.
Caucasus
It is the brief moments in life that always seem to stay in our minds, just like this amazing light reflection at 5000 meter altitude in the Caucasus.
The big mountains
Snow and fog at the south face of Mount Elbrus, sunshine at the north face of the Arwa Tower. Constantly changing conditions in the mountains are amongst the greatest challenges when rock climbing and taking pictures.
Mushroom, Eiger
While a thunderstorm is raging on the other side of the valley, Stefan Siegrist and Ralf Weber rejoice over their successful ascent at the Eiger North Face in the face of sunshine.
Exposure
Stefan Siegrist in the Eiger North Face and Liv Sansoz in a sport climbing route in the Gastlosen. Whether having 10 meters or 1000 meters underneath your feet does not really matter; only solely concentration on the moment can offer a chance of success.
Arcegno, Ticino
The challenge in combining experience, strength and power in one crucial move is what makes bouldering so fascinating. The Ticino with its limitless stone blocks and pizzerien offers the perfect setting.
Wandfuss Eiger North Face
The Eiger in a different way. Up until this point I didn’t know that there were actually people enjoying the big fields of rubble beneath the North Face.
Mittelegi ridge
Being a mountain guide is my second profession. To help to fulfil a customer’s long-cherished dream as the ascent of the Mittelegi ridge, certainly belongs to the most rewarding moments of the job.
