My relationship with nature is pretty… natural. I mean, I have always been in nature. It's a place I respect a lot. I have learnt to observe, and I'm always amazed by it.

But she talks! “Hey, look at me. Shut down your cellphone, smell me, feel the wind, touch the grass, the rocks, the trees… and take care of me!”

I think every expedition is different, and you always come back as a new and transformed person. But the most human expedition/experience I had, was when we brought our girlfriend Vanessa, who was paralyzed, climbing El Cap. Definitely the most powerful experience I've ever had, both in terms of human connection and the sports aspect!

He or she must be cool, patient and fun. On expeditions there is a lot of waiting (because of weather or acclimatization), there is a lot of discomfort etc. So you need friends with a really cool attitude.

Mash and Cheese! It’s my new favorite! On a high-altitude expedition your sense of taste can change a lot, and it is difficult to eat. However, Mash and Cheese always remains tasty and easy to consume for me.

A different me.

Because it’s my passion, my love, and it drives me!
