For decades, the climber and extreme mountaineer Thomas Huber has been teetering on the edge, always at the limit. He recorded great success in first ascents and spectacular climbing tours that no one had dared to do before. He has suffered defeats and has survived serious accidents and a kidney tumor — but through every challenge and failure, he has had the strength to always get back up. In his autobiography, Huber talks about his childhood at the foot of the Alps, about the power of the first step, about passion, courage, and doubt. This book is both the story of one of the most famous mountaineers of our time and a hymn to freedom.

About the Author
Thomas Huber is an extreme climber, mountaineer, and mountain guide. He is one half of the successful German climbing duo “Huberbuam.” Huber has achieved spectacular first ascents, including ones in the Karakoram, Patagonia, and Antarctica. For his achievements he was awarded the Piolet d’Or and the Bavarian Sports Prize. In July 2016, while filming on a rock face near Berchtesgaden, Huber fell sixteen meters and suffered a skull fracture, but the injury didn’t stop his adventurous spirit. The month following his injury, he set off on another expedition, and he has kept up with his travels and experiences since then.
