The old boys with the young guns on top of the Lüsenser peak in Austria. On a sunny day we decided to enjoy the last snowy days in the alps. We climbed the Lüsenser Peak and still found some lines in good powder. The next days I met Malte and we went to the Stubaier Glacier to climb one of the most impressive peaks around Innsbruck. After a two hours hike we stood on top of the Schaufelspitz 3333 m. “Greetings to all mothers in the world!”, we left in the summit register, because hey, it was still Mother’s Day 2013.  The entrance of the descend is a very steep colouir, 50° steep, after 200 m it flaters out… I still feel the adrenalin watching pictures of the peak like this one on the right. CRAZZZY!   Thanks to Melissa for all the great info about the tour.  -> meltirol.wordpress.com

Essaouira, the city of 1000 blue doors! We just arrived and were another time surprised by the super chilled and friendly atmosphere. Essaouira welcomes us with perfect condicions for 11 m kites. Yummy yummy :) Heaps of travel guides describe Essaouria as a flatwater spot, but Essaouria definitely offers more than that! It is a bay but still the waves enter clean and sorted. At the south end of the bay flows a river into the Atlantic and produces a really nice lagoon. We were lucky to witness one of the random fullmoon nights with wind. Moon shine transformed the beach into a sea of lights. I already can’t wait to come back. See you soon Essaouira!haha

Welcome to Morocco! I never expected such a great variety of landscapes, spots and possibilities of fun sports. But hell yeah Morocco is definitely the place to be for a short trip from Europe to do all kinds of extreme sports. Not more than two hours lasted my plane from Barcelona to Marrakesh. With Ryan it is pretty cheap as well – so perfect for just one or two weeks of vacations. After getting to know the old capital of Morocco we started our road trip through the “HIGH Atlas Mountains”. We crossed the “Oasis of Souk” and stayed overnight close to the “Valley of Dades”. Terrific landscapes – really worth it to see! Afterwards we headed towards the “Valley of Todra” to hit some climbing rocks. We didn’t expected so much, but eventually this area offers one of the best equipped sports climbing walls I have seen so far. Amazing! Here you can find all types of routes, from short and sportive up to easy and alpine. After three days of climbing we felt like to see the ocean again and started the car towards Essaouira to go kiting again.

…”Der Würzburger Jan Schiegnitz (vorne) bleibt deutscher Meister im Snowkiten. Eine Besonderheit, denn so viele Würzburger Wintersport-Meister hat es in Würzburg bislang noch nicht gegeben…”
