This is the world of professional climber and keynote speaker Dani Arnold.
Dani Arnold lives his passion: extreme mountaineering. Expeditions all over the world, difficult routes in rock and ice, speed records on all the great north faces of Europe: Eiger, Matterhorn, Grand Jorasses, Grosse Zinne, Piz Badile and Petit Dru. He is one of the strongest extreme mountaineers in the world and is considered Europe's most famous free solo climber. And Dani is far from finished.
An unfamiliar country, an unfamiliar culture, unfamiliar people—that’s exactly what made this trip to Kyrgyzstan so special. We didn’t know what to expect. Martin and I set out hoping to discover and climb new mixed routes…
Hardly anyone has pushed the boundaries of what is possible in international top alpinism in recent years as consistently as the professional mountaineer and mountain guide born in 1984. As a speaker at lectures, film festivals and corporate events throughout Europe, Dani Arnold shares his adventures with the public.
In his lectures and keynote speeches, Dani Arnold lets the audience participate in the world of the mountains in a captivating and multimedia way. It's about success and failure, about tactics and feeling for the big walls and about the values and goals that you need as a mountaineer. Because it's not the mountain you conquer, it's always your own ego.

"...Dani Arnold has shown me that there are still fixed stars that remain. And now the journalist, author and photographer Uli Auffermann has sensationally described the North Face deeds of Dani Arnold..."

Records & Reflections by extreme alpinist Dani Arnold - by Dani Arnold
"Dani is not a hasardeur, but someone who has the skills. And he has the confidence to do it. The confidence in himself that he can do it."
Alexander Huber
ANTI GRAVITY explores the question: Is there a force that defies gravity? This illustrated book uses impressive photographs to tell the story of extraordinary moments in which above and below lose their meaning and people challenge the limits of what is physically possible. Over the course of five years, Swiss professional alpinist Dani Arnold, photographer Thomas Monsorno, climbing partner Martin Echser and filmmaker Lukas Kusstatscher explored spectacular ice walls around the world. Their travels took them from Russia's Lake Baikal to Iceland's volcanic landscape, Kazakhstan and the fjords of Spitsbergen.
