ON THE WAY TO EXTREME EXPERIENCES WITH LOWA

LOWA PRO TEAM

Stefan Glowacz is an extreme climber by profession and can look back on an impressive sport climbing career from 1985 to 1993. Born and raised in Bavaria, the professional mountaineer discovered his love of climbing at the age of 13. During his competitive career, he took first place in the Rock Master (the unofficial sport climbing world championship) three times - in 1987, 1988 and 1992 - and was runner-up in the world championship in 1993.

  • Since ending his competition career, however, he has been fascinated mainly by the challenges of real rock. In recent years in particular, he has increasingly dedicated himself to expeditions that take him to the most remote and difficult walls in the world. After two failed attempts, he conquered the north face of Cerro Murallòn in Patagonia together with his climbing partner Robert Jasper in autumn 2005 and successfully completed his longest expedition to date in October 2018 - 3 months "from coast to coast" through Greenland.

Stefan Glowacz,

HOW DID YOU GET INTO MOUNTAIN SPORTS AND WHY DID YOU CHOOSE IT?
"My parents took me to the mountains when I couldn't even walk properly. I found my passion for the mountains through them."

HOW HAS SPORT CHANGED YOUR LIFE?
"I started climbing when I was 13. My first climbing course was like a revelation. I found all my desires anchored in climbing - ambition, goals, freedom and adventure. Very quickly, my enthusiasm turned into a philosophy of life."

HOW MUCH DO YOU ENJOY LIFE MORE THAN OTHERS?
"I don't compare my way of life with that of others. That's not the criterion. Everyone strives for happiness and this pursuit is not comparable and absolutely individual."
