Stefan Brunner about climbing:
"Climbing means for me adventure, fun and sometimes suffering. Climbing is a life. Man is in nature, struggling with himself and trying to push his limits a little further. This is why I like climbing. To achieve something in climbing, you need kind of passion and good nerves."

Back country skiing and a little mountaineering.
