Mich Kemeter climbing

ACTEN HERO

Pushed by extreme focus and sense of belonging to nature,  the 33-year-old Mich Kemeter is known for his hair-raising slackline tours, first ascents of multi-pitch routes such as Tortour and free solo ascents of difficult sport climbing routes up to the tenth UIAA grade.

The Austrian’s most recent success is the first ascent of the Panta Rhei sport climbing route in Styria, which checks in at 9a. As well as the first one-day ascent of his project “Way through Hedis Kaiserschmarrn” 400m 8c+, which is considered one of the most difficult multi-pitch routes.

MICH KEMETER THE MAN THAT WALKS OVER THE WATER 

Mich is an all-round talent that loves to feel the “flow” in everything he does. His scope of activities reaches from climbing to slack lining, skydiving and B.A.S.E. jumping, or a combination of those. He started to climb professionally in 2008 and holds several world records for walking highlines and waterlines. His motto is: “Give everyday a reason to stay in your memory, because life is drawing without any eraser.”

Voie Petit on Grand Capucin

Country/City: Mont Blanc Group (CH/FR)
Grade: 8b/10
Length: 450 meters / 14 rope lengths

It is one of the toughest high-alpine multi-pitch routes in Europe. It took me 22 hours with my partner Cody Sims to red point.

Paciencia

Country/City: Eiger north face, Switzerland
Grade: 8a
Length: 900 meters / 27 pitches

It was my first route on the Eiger and the hardest route at that time. Only five people did redpoint it before.

Lost Arrow Spire (Highline)

Country/City: Yosemite Nationalpark
Grade: Slackline
Lenght: 18 meters in 400 meter height

First “free solo onsight” of this historic world wide first highline!

Mich is an all-round talent that loves to feel the “flow” in everything he does.

During his project of breaking the record of distance ever climbed in Verdon, Mich said : “The rope was just a part of the game. The trust in our friendship, our training and our « climb and fly » abilities were the keys to success.”

All was based on a high end level of awareness, being in flow motion in extreme situations and testing ourself how far we could go.

“We cannot change the world, but we can change our perspectives so that the world – around us – changes.”

New horizons are very important in the face of giving and giving in life. Without knowing what horizons can do, the DREAMS rage. Goals become blurred in the sea on rough (green) seas of thoughts and drill holes in the seabed of the nutrient source “BEING”.
