The inner dimension of mountaineering

An inspiring lecture with very personal impressions, accompanied by exciting pictures and video sequences from the mountain world. Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner is the first woman in the world to have climbed all 14 8,000-meter peaks without the aid of additional oxygen or high-altitude porters. In her current lecture, she will share her approach to the inner dimension of mountaineering with you through various excerpts from her expeditions. She will talk about her physical and mental preparation, her enduring enthusiasm, but also how she deals with setbacks and overcomes extremely difficult situations. Important elements for Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner are meditation, inner gut feeling, nutrition, and a deep connection to the mountains and nature. In the second part of the lecture, Gerlinde takes you on the ascent of K2, the most difficult of all 8,000-meter peaks. On the Chinese side of the mountain, she succeeded in 2011 in an international team on her seventh attempt to reach the summit via the very demanding and rarely climbed North Pillar. Look forward to an entertaining evening with a very extraordinary woman.
