Andy Holzer – Blind Climber

For the first time in history a blind mountaineer climbs the Malloryroute on the north side of Mt. Everest. Andy Holzer, the blind climber, is after Erik Weihenmayer, who reached the summit via the south side, worldwide the second mountaineer without eyesight to successfully conquer, together with his friends, the roof of the world.

With my four friends Anda , Roger , Thomas and Frank I wanted to experience a relaxing skitouring time in exceptional surroundings of the Antarctic Peninsula.
It was truly exceptional.

My Sherpa Tenzing and his sister are happy about their new home! A thousand thanks to all helpers!! Now, my trip to Mt. Everest was for good use.

nature is simply stronger,” and for us there was nothing to do but help. The people in the region need our help!
