STICK CLIMBING Gössl AT 2010

200 wooden slats mark a new climbing route up the rock face of the Gösslerwand. The route had been laid out considering both artistic and sportive points of view – in cooperation with a team of professional climbers. The route covers 220m and represents a utopian grade of 19+. It served as a cineastic track for the eponymous short film „Stick Climbing“ that plays with the topic of trendy sports, yet also with concepts of achievement, stamina, weight and gravity, concentration and angst while taking these concepts as a point of departure for a poetic reflexion on existence.
