Angelika Rainer, born in Merano in 1986, is a three-times world champion in ice climbing and receives recognition around the world for her sporting skills. The Merano climber was the first woman in her family able to decide for herself what she wanted to do with her life. After the world championship titles and ten years of international competitions, the time has come for Angelika to steer her career in a new direction. She is looking for new challenges in order to question herself and overcome her biggest fears. With her partner and trainer Marco, Angelika sets out for the world’s most difficult ice and rock faces between the Italian Dolomites, the Greek island of Kalymnos, the Ironman route of Eptingen (Switzerland) and the ice caves and falls of Iceland; meeting other women, from within and without the world of sport, which will inspire her to progress both as an athlete and as a person.
