First of all, I like the thrill when climbing at my limit. In those situations I’m totally focused and nothing else matters. I feel in control and really strong and even the hardest moves seem to become surprisingly easy. Second, I love the competitions. They give me the opportunity not only to test and demonstrate my physical and mental fitness but also to socialize with all my friends of the climbing community. These two aspects are the main motivation and the reward for devoting a great part of my present life to this beautiful sport.
