    Cerro Kishtwar - An Ice Cold Story

    Julian Zanker (2018)

    The Kashmir mountains were barred to foreign alpinists for several years. The ban was lifted early in 2010 and Stephan Siegrist, Denis Burdet, and David Lama made the first expedition into the region the following year to climb Cerro Kishtwar alpine style. They reached the summit via the north-west side. Siegrist had spotted a new line on the face, however, and returned in 2017 with Huber and Zanker, but the difficulties were harder than expected and they encountered difficult technical climbing.

    100 Jahre Huberbuam

    Werner Bertolan (2017)

    Over three decades, the Huber Boys have become an actual brand, not only in the outdoor community, but also as climbers, mountaineers and as brothers. Since their youngest days, Thomas and Alexander have been embodying a seemingly perfect rope team. It does not surprise that between such different characters with their respective egos, sparks can fly. They live through highs and lows, falls and triumphs. In 2017 the Huber Boys together turned 100 years old. A good moment for an interim balance.

    Die Bayerische Direttissima

    Max Reichel (2013)

    Together with their East Tyrolean friend Mario Walder, Alexander and Thomas Huber set out once again, this time with one special goal in mind: to free-climb the almost 700-metre-high Mount Asgard on Baffin Island. Their ambitious plan was to conquer the massive granite monolith in one team free ascent – a task no one had successfully accomplished before. With good reason, as the physical and psychological challenges are tremendous. It’s a mission that calls for more than just a good team. It calls for three individuals to become one, fiercely determined to give it all they got…

    Barbara Zangerl

    Barbara Zangerl

    Johannes Mair (2015)

    For many years Barbara Zangerl was known as one of the best female boulderers in the world, as one of the first women to climb class 8b. At the age of 19 years and at the top of this career a back injury - the end of the career? Eager and ambitious, Barbara started alpine climbing. With a completely new attitude to climbing she tries her hand at the hardest alpine routes: 'End of Silence' - first started by Thomas Huber, Stefan Glowacz's 'Des Kaisers neue Kleider' and 'Silbergeier' by Beat Kammerlander. Due to their challenge and beauty, all three extreme climbing routes are considered milestones in alpine climbing and have gone down in alpine history books worldwide as the 'Alpine Trilogy'.

    Making-of 'Am Limit' - The point of no return

    Pepe Danquart (2007)

    Making-of of the documentary 'Am Limit’, where the Huber brothers, Alex and Thomas, try to beat the speed record of the ‘Nose’, a 1.000 meters high climbing route in the granite wall of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. The filming crew, composed of expert mountaineers, had to spend some days shooting betwenn eight and twelve hours on the wall, exposed to the sun and the elements. Every camera position was calculated by Pepe Danquart, the film director, anticipating every climber’s move, and the team used between 3 and 4 kilometers of fixed ropes. About ten people have been constantly in the wall, and more than 30 more were standing up at the summit or below to assist.
