KATHARINA SAURWEIN Born in 1987, lives in Innsbruck. It all began on a saturday in June 1995, at the sports science campus of the University of Innsbruck. She saw a climbing wall for the first time. And because you should always try everything, she put the harness on and started upwards. Once on top, all she wanted was do another route, and she was hooked on climbing ever since.
1) Who is your favorite climbing partner and why?
Jorg Verhoeven. Because we know each other so well and it’s great to share unique experiences with your partner.

The Cobra. After That I switched to the Python and I still use it and I climb all my hard routes and boulders on it.

The Fontainebleau guidebook. I could read it all day.
4) What is the mountain you would like to see at least one time in your life?
There is way too many mountains and walls I’d like to see for a lifetime.

Jorg and I support the sport climbing community in Argentinia and South Africa by sending or bringing along climbing gear whenever we can.
6) What's in the air?
After retiring from comp climbing I will focus on outdoor climbing, travel to foreign climbing areas to look for new lines and I’ll try hard trad routes, boulders and sport climbs around the world and at home.
