»Sie« am Seil

The story opens with a seemingly ordinary spring day on Rome’s Capitoline Hill, where a chance climb to the very top sparks an unexpected awakening. The narrator discovers a latent talent for high‑altitude climbing, feeling her ordinary self split into something new—a true mountaineer. From that moment she gathers gear, learns to trust her boots, and sets her sights on a real mountain that will test every ounce of the courage she has just uncovered.

From the rugged peaks of the Wild Kaiser to the iconic Matterhorn, the narrative follows her daring ascents across the Alpine world, each chapter a vivid portrait of steep cliffs, icy ridges, and remote huts. Interwoven are lighter interludes on ski slopes and wanderings through the sun‑lit hills of Italy, where the same spirit of adventure drives her onward. The book captures the exhilaration of first climbs, the humor of early mishaps, and the quiet wonder of landscapes that inspire both fear and awe.
