Then finally: The summit! At the highest point of the Schöttnerspitze, the leg pain is quickly forgotten. 2,633 m above sea level, all that matters is the view, the reward, the sense of having reached one's goal. And that is "something very special" every time, even for an experienced climber like Magdalena, as she admits. Henning himself is visibly overwhelmed. "Time and space stand still at the summit", he says. "It's a feeling of complete awe, like being on top of the world and looking down at nature that is millions of years old. I am extremely grateful for this moment."
The student finishes the tour filled with new impressions and endorphins, as he adds, "a whole lot of self-confidence and personal growth".
