Feierabend – nach einem ausgefüllten Arbeitstag in der Bikeacademy juckt es noch in den Wadeln. Ein wolkenloser Himmel und warme Temperaturen laden zu einer Übernachtung am Berg ein – vielleicht die letzte Möglichkeit in dieser Saison um am großen Rettenstein zu biwakieren.
Der Bergsommer ist kurz. Kein Wunder also, dass sich in den Sommermonaten zahlreiche Bergsportlerinnen und -sportler der unterschiedlichsten Ausprägung rund um die bekannten Gipfel der Ostalpen drängen. Dennoch lässt sich die Bergwelt auch auf einsamen Pfaden, zu Fuß oder mit dem Bike erkunden…
It all started with a dream, the idea of traveling the world and spreading the idea of ecofriendly traveling and creating awareness for our planet…
Sebastian Gutmann. Charaktereigenschaften: Ehrgeizig, motiviert, empathisch, lustig und teils etwas dickköpfig. Mein Arbeitsunfall am 10. August 2010: Ich verlor damals fast meine linke Hand. Das war wie mein zweiter Geburtstag. Ich änderte mein komplettes Leben und schlug eine andere Richtung ein.
Als junger Familienvater suche ich mir meine sportlichen Herausforderungen beim Klettern vorzugsweise in den heimischen Bergen. Vor kurzem bin ich im Chiemgau an der Zellerwand wieder fündig geworden. Mein neues Projekt war gefunden, der Durchstieg des “Silberrückens” im Grad 8c+/9a.
Europe, a continent viewed as the centre of the universe is, in fact, an offshoot of Asia. Great Britain, former centre of the world’s largest empire, lies on the outskirts of Europe. The Old Forge, a pub on Scotland’s Knoydart peninsula, can only be reached on foot or by boat.

The Story
OK, it’s the most famous glacier in the world. You can’t expect solitude here; every fifteen minutes a busload of tourists is released in the direction of the viewing platforms. And yet the sight of the Perito Moreno Glacier in Patagonia with its 4-km wide and 60 m high escarpment has something touching, something incomprehensible about it. It is a natural spectacle that takes your breath away and that instinctively describes the relationship between man and nature. Humility and tranquil joy of existence seizes every viewer.
The Photographer
Ralf Gantzhorn was born in 1964, holds a M.S. in Geology – and has even worked as a geologist (as an independent consultant in the contamination sector). He has been climbing since 1983 and working as a photographer since 1985. As a northern German, he is always torn between the far too distant mountains and the fresh sea air, but he’s found a compromise in Scandinavia, Scotland and Patagonia (where he has now spent over three years). He enjoys organizing trips in areas where unfamiliar vistas – which haven’t already been photographed 1000 times – lure from every corner. He often experiences his images as far too static, but then is pleased with the abundance of triangles in the structure and the fantastic light.

The Story
The picture was taken on the summit of Marmolada after an ascent of the Vinatzer/Messner on the south wall. We didn’t reach the summit until 10:00 p.m. so we bivouacke (planned) there. We woke up to this riot of color …
