Seegang – Eine vergessene Perle
Im Schatten des Watzmanns, tief im Berchtesgadner Land schlummert ein 25 Jahre altes Projekt. Dies führt 30m zentral durch einen glatten Kalkpanzer mit einer Oberflächenstruktur die Wasserwellen stark ähnelt.- Helmut Kotters Ziel: eine kletterbare Route suchen und bis ganz nach oben kommen!
“Silberrücken”
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.
Im eisigen Untergrund Italiens – Underground 9a
Im Kletterzentrum Italiens Arco kann man nicht nur Pizza und Eis essen. Nein, man kann sich auch in dunkle, eisige Löcher verstecken. Genau an der Decke solch eines Loches in Massone verläuft die gut 20m lange Route Underground.

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.
