Highlights

Best Climbing Experience

Climbing the semi final of the worldcup in Eindhoven back in 2010. Competing in front of all of my friends was amazing. But nothing can beat a cold and sunny day in Font or Ticino. So many memories of great boulders and company I can't choose from. One of the things that pop up in my mind is the classic 6a highball Blue Sky of Mine in Magic Wood. But I also have to mention the day I did Big Island, everything was perfect.

Favourite Moon Climbing Product

Warrior pad, Rainshadow pant, Samurai short, Samurai pant
