DANI ARNOLD
Dani Arnold is living his passion, extreme mountaineering.
Expeditions all over the world, challenging routes on rock and ice, speed records on all the great north faces of Europe.
He is one of Europe’s leading extreme mountaineers and the continent’s most acclaimed free solo climber.
All of this started in 2011 when Dani’s record climb of the Eiger north face suddenly became the talk of the climbing world and catapulted himself into mainstream media outlets across the world.
