Alexander Huber recounts important milestones in his life, his climbing achievements, and pivotal developments in mountaineering during the 20th century. In an interview with Peter Samuel Jost, Alexander Huber, one of the world's best mountaineers, discusses his early days climbing with his older brother Thomas, his rise to the top of the sport climbing world, and his subsequent successes in free climbing, free soloing (climbing without ropes), and speed climbing. He also offers insights into a difficult personal crisis when he even lost his passion for climbing. Alexander is one of the world's best mountaineers. He has made a name for himself with extreme expeditions such as the ascent of the west face of Latok II, a 7,000-meter peak in Pakistan's Karakoram Mountains, and his free climbing achievements on El Capitan in California's Yosemite Valley. Together with his brother Thomas, he forms the climbing team known as the "Huberbuam." Alexander Huber lives with his family near Berchtesgaden.
