LOWA PRO Team Martin Feistl

The passion of climbing

We are deeply saddened and can hardly believe it. Our athlete Martin Feistl, whom we had the privilege of exper­i­encing as an excep­tional sportsman in the LOWA PRO Team, has died in a tragic climbing accident in Tyrol.

Martin Feistl was a moun­taineer through and through. Growing up near Lake Ammersee, southwest of Munich, he was not drawn to water sports, which might be more typical for his hometown. Instead, he felt at home in the diverse world of climbing. Whether it was ice climbing, sport climbing, in alpine regions, or on exped­itions with climbing partners, he was always passionate about it.

In his first ascents and exped­itions, sustain­ability was always at the forefront. Martin had great ideas and visions for envir­on­mentally friendly climbing, far from cars or planes, always in harmony with nature.

Our heartfelt condolences and deep sympathy go out to his family, friends, and all loved ones. We wish them much strength in this difficult time.

We will always remember Martin as an ambitious, joyful athlete and person.
