About Bastian
Description
Matterhorn-guide. To the peak of all peaks. Every year I guide dozens of guests to the mountain of mountains and of course accompany you on your way to realise every other dream in the mountains. Does the motto: ‘Climbing makes the difference between real life and mere existence’ apply to you? You know how to belay, you know how to climb up and down and you know slabs, intersections, cracks, etc. Now you want it to be higher, harder, cooler and also really fun. Slowly you realise that your performance is stagnating, your progress in training is getting smaller and smaller. Do you keep failing at the crux of the long-term project in your local climbing garden or at the exit mantle of your climbing holiday super boulder in the magical forests of sun-drenched Ticino? Are you still motivated? Every climber's technique is unique and everyone has to learn it for themselves. The key here is to work intensively on it - copying is allowed. Of course, the necessary juice is also part of the filigree technique so that you can hold the holes, ledges and slopers. With a targeted, structured approach, we can improve a lot together and achieve new goals. Of course, every successful training programme must be individually tailored to the athlete. I am happy to support you in this. Let's take the path to the higher levels of difficulty together! Qualifications: Mountain Guide UIAGM / IFMGA / ski-instructor / MTB-guide (swisscycling guide)
