Piz Badile North Face

One of my best memories from this summer is from heading over to Switzerland with @jostkobusch in August to climb the North face of Piz Badile. It was a beautiful little get-away sleeping under the stars, climbing this 900 m vertical wall with incredible views across the Swiss Alps, and arriving at the summit late in the evening — meaning we had to spend the night in the emergency bivouac hut at the summit with two very friendly Italian guys.

The start of a new chapter

I think I knew already back in March, as I was sitting by the airport gate in Stockholm, that it was somehow the start of a new chapter in my life. I arrived in Germany literally just before all the craziness with corona started. My boyfriend Jost had arrived from Nepal the night before. Perfect timing. I had only planned to stay for one month, but I ended up staying three.
