Michael « Much » Mayr est de retour d'Éthiopie

L'Éthiopie est l'un des berceaux de l'homme moderne et a, outre un patrimoine historique et culturel unique, beaucoup à offrir. Caractérisé par un paysage varié, le plateau éthiopien se distingue par ses diverses formations rocheuses et est donc une destination populaire chez les alpinistes. Mais pourquoi choisir un pays dont les sites sont difficilement accessibles et dont la qualité des roches est assez méconnue ? C'est la curiosité et le goût pour l'aventure qui ont décidé l'athlète SKYLOTEC Michael « Much » Mayr et son partenaire Hansjörg Auer. C'est un ami qui leur a inspiré ce projet. Il avait adopté un enfant de cette région il y a quelques années et vantait sans cesse la beauté des impressionnantes montagnes de grès. Le climat des hauts-plateaux d'Abyssinie permet de profiter du soleil même en mars, ce qui est loin d'être le cas partout sur le continent africain. Ce n'est pas sans raison que cette région abrite l'endroit le plus chaud du monde. Continue reading → Read more
