A few months ago, David Göttler (Munich, 1978) reached the summit of Nanga Parbat, at 8,125 meters, the ninth highest mountain in the world. He did it without Sherpas, without base camps, climbing with little equipment and opening a new route. It took him days to climb this key mountain in the history of mountaineering in his country, because Germans had summited it first in 1934. But it took him only thirty-five minutes to reach base camp. His companions arrived three days later. The secret? He went paragliding. No one had ever flown a paraglider above 7,000 meters before. Göttler is a cheerful man with a great sense of humor. A friend of Kilian Jornet, the ARA welcomed him at the Barrabes store in Barcelona, ​​after the presentation of the collection. Advanced Mountain Kit from The North Face, which he helped develop.
