Kathmandu
26.09.2025
A new culture - and the first true sensing of our surroundings. Kathmandu: an ordered, functioning chaos.
Nepalganj
27.09.2025
With the lingering thought of whether everything was truly packed, we stepped into the humidity I have ever felt.
Jufal
28.09.2025
Barely arrived in Nepalganj, we board a flight into the mountains and land on a narrow mountainside airstrip. “Pull up! Terrain!” — those words from the cockpit are still vivid in my memory.
Basecamp
28.09. - 04.10.2025
I feel light and fast — even the jump in altitude from 3,800 meters to 5,000 meters doesn’t affect me.
I feel good.
Dayhikes
05. - 11.10.2025
After asking the mountain for permission during the Puja ceremony, we begin day tours for acclimatization. To conserve energy, I ascend to new subsidiary peaks each day and return to base camp to sleep.
Summit Push
12.10.2025
Now it counts. Our summit window has arrived.
I sleep well at each stage and feel rested.
Summit
14.10.2025
Was für ein Erlebnis an meinem Geburtstag auf dem Gipfel des Daulaghiri 7 zu stehen!
Nach 30 Minuten bin ich auf Skiern auch schon wieder in Camp 2.
Dolpa Tal
17.10.2025
Even on the way back, I’m struck by the changing landscape — from brown and arid to lush green oases.
Return journey
22. - 26.10.2025
With countless stories in our baggage, I reflect on what we’ve experienced — and on what still lies ahead.
So many summits and stories are still waiting to be discovered.
We love to share our achievements.
