Outdoormädchen
The Outdoormädchen, or “outdoor girl”, covers all aspects of life in nature. She has been enthralled by nature ever since she began to walk and is always ready to give new types of sports and techniques a try. She has been writing the blog since April 2011, filling it with informative, amusing and simply well-written posts. In the process, the writer always focuses on how women in the branch are doing. Hiking in a skirt, multi-day tours in the Wicklow Mountains and geocaching in all types of weather – and what challenges being a mother brought with it.

For the love of the challenge: The Che Guevara is one tough nut to crack, but it is still my favourite via ferrata because I find the wall to be so adventuresome and challenging. I simply have to kneel down before it in awe. I really wanted to tackle the Che Guevara via ferrata because it has a rock face called “Tiramisu corner”. The rock edge itself would be nothing to write home about if somebody had not painted the word “Tiramisu” on it. This word on the rock conjured up visions of the treat to my mind. For the rest of the climb and the descent, I could think of nothing else but enjoying a big piece of Italian Tiramisu once I was done. Or would you have worked off all of the calories from a slice of Tiramisu by the time you reached this point?
