Only courage? Rather humility

For mountain lovers actually every day is a day of the mountains. However, there’s no harm in being  aware, at least once a year, of how vulnerable and worthy of protection the mountain world is. Yesterday’s 11 December was the annual “International Mountain Day”. In 2016, the United Nations dedicated it to the people who live and work in mountain regions, 13 percent of the world population after all.

My contribution to the “Day of Mountains” is more personal (sorry for the one day delay, I still had to complete the English version). Recently, my employer asked me to do a small slide show about courage. They said, I had proved courage during my adventures in the Himalayas and the Arctic after all. Really? See for yourself:
