Cerro Cachet
This is Stephan Siegrist’s 19th expedition to Patagonia but his first to the northern inland ice. It poses great challenges for the professional alpinist and his climbing partners Nicolas Hojac and Lukas Hinterberger, but the Swiss trio is rewarded with a grand new route on the 2600-meter-high Cerro Cachet.

Rotbrätt
Roger Schaeli and I were the first to successfully climb Silverback, a new route on the west face of the Rotbrätt on Jungfrau in June 2019.

Cerro Kishtwar
On 14 October 2017 German alpinist Thomas Huber and the Swissmen Stephan Siegrist and Julian Zanker made the first ascent of ‘Har Har Mahadev’, a new climb up the NW Face of Cerro Kishtwar. This is only the 4th ascent of the 6155 m peak located in the Indian Himalaya.

Metanoia
From 29 to 30 December 2016 Thomas Huber, Stephan Siegrist and Roger Schaeli scored the long-awaited second ascent of Metanoia, Jeff Lowe’s masterpiece on the North Face of the Eiger. The route was established solo over a period of nine days in winter 1991 by the leading American alpinist and, despite attempts, had been unrepeated. Thomas Huber provides the report.

Kilimanjaro Highline
The Swiss professional alpinist and Mammut Pro Team athlete Stephan Siegrist realized an extraordinary balancing act in the summit region of Kilimanjaro. He set a world record by walking a highline at 5,700 meters above sea level.

Martinsloch Highline
The sunlight then suddenly shines through the "Martinsloch", a triangular window in the rock face, casting a beam of light over the lanes and rooftops of the village of Elm in the Swiss canton of Glarus.
