Felix Berg
I am Magdalena's husband, family man and mountaineer. I am passionate about all kinds of mountain sports, from the small boulders for bouldering to the really big boulders like Mount. Everest. When climbing on the rock, I am fascinated by the joy of movement and feeling the flow of a successful on-sight or redpoint. In high-altitude mountaineering, I am fascinated by the physical and mental game of perseverance, the very profound experiences of a great expedition. As managing director and expedition leader at SummitClimb.de, I bring this mountain sport closer to our participants, enjoy going with guests to destinations I know as well as on explorations, with safety and a shared experience in the foreground. In sporting projects with other athletes or sometimes solo, I get to know limits, try to exceed them and grow in the process of pushing the limit. It is important to me to experience every moment intensively, whether the thin one at 8000m or the small boulder on a family outing.
