„Ich will da rauf“ - an extraordinary experience

For some time now KIKU® and the International Mountain Summit have supported the german association „IWDR“, which gives people with or without a handicap the possibility to climb.

The association owes its name to the amazing story of a young women. After a tumor surgery at the age of 15, Linda’s life has changed drastically. She can’t move her hands and legs anymore. Speaking and swallowing was impossible.

Once a physiotherapist took her along to a climbing hall, she decided that she wanted to climb. Four years later she achieved her goal. Her life motto „Ich will da rauf“ became the name of the association.

On 25th May the project "Climbing with or without handicap", coordinated by KIKU® and the International Mountain Summit offered the association the opportunity to pass a weekend in Brixen, South Tyrol. They had a fantastic day of climbing together with the climbing experts Thomas and Alexander Huber and the ice climbing world champion Angelika Rainer in the climbing hall Vertikal in Brixen.

After the event everyone was sure that this day would have enriched them. KIKU® and the International Mountain Summit are going to support this great association even in the future.
