Every step leads closer to the goal

Climbing his personal Mount Everest with a spinal cord injury

“I was afraid of my own courage!”

Can that really exist? 8848 vertical meters – that can’t be serious!” But when the ad for ALPIN8 started appearing more and more frequently in her messages, she became really curious. And she couldn’t let go of the
