For Maria, concentrating hard as she positions her shoe on the next foothold is pure joy. She has the right idea: Not only does the precarious nature of free climbing keep you alert in the moment, a study from the University of North Florida found that the specific characteristics of climbing could significantly improve a person’s working memory and other cognitive functions. This is because it involves balance, muscle coordination, and spatial orientation simultaneously • ▬ Climbing partners – and friends▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ • Maria also appreciates climbing for the company. “I always have a mountain guide with me. What’s better than that?” she says. Her mountain guide Christoph has become Maria’s friend. They have spent weeks-long climbing holidays in places like France, Croatia, and Spain. “She has this ability to always adjust to new situations”, Christoph says about his travel partner. “At her age, something or other might ache or be painful, but she always finds a solution. That’s impressive.” • ▬ About the Zwerchwand in Bad Goisern, Upper Austria ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ • Located in Austria’s lake district in the province of Upper Austria, the Zwerchwand is an insider’s tip for rock climbers, featuring routes with varying degrees of difficulty.
