Hanna didn't have a choice, when her father first put her on a plastic pair of skis at the age of 3. Then she went the way of a classic alpine ski racer until the age of 18. Thanks to the racing experiences and alpine racing competitions, Hanna has a pretty smooth but at the same time sportive and radical skiing style. Her skiing skills made her an ISIA-skiing instructor and to a writer and journalist for a German speaking Freeride Onlinemagazine. Since then the 25-years-old German started venturing on ...

Are Ice Tool Leashes As Archaic as Gaiters, Screamers and Third Tools? The picture above is the last one I could find in my photo collection where I have a leash on a tool--Norway 2005. This is another blog post inspired by a question from a reader. The question was roughly, "I was wondering your take on leashless climbing for beginners? I am a sorta old school ice climber that still uses leashes for those 4 days a year I manage to get out ice climbing. (father in washington state) I feel that I don't get

Almost five years ago my husband and I honeymooned in Sardinia (Sardegna) Italy. We picked the location because we wanted a place where we could sport climb and relax on the beach, plus I was excited to see a part of Italy I hadn't seen before. While we were there, we were excited to see a German couple with two young children - one still in an infant carrier and one was about three. The couple was climbing a route while their children played in the sand. It was such an inspiration to us that we decided
