‘If my friend sees a mountain on vacation, he must and will climb’

If you have only arrived cold at your idyllic destination, your partner is already hanging on a rock somewhere with ropes.

Manon (40) has a relationship with Rick (42) and is mother of Timo (7) and Fedde (5):

“Rick has more hobbies than sitting meat. If he sees a mountain, he must and will climb it. This is called Klettersteigen in German. Then you set a course against a rock wall in a harness that is attached to a steel cable. On our first holiday together, he dragged me on an advanced route. It’s that I was so in love, otherwise I wouldn’t even have started it.

Alright then

Our children have to believe in it too. Timo thinks it’s cool, I’m still terrified and I think Fedde is too small. Rick didn’t, so last year we were all ready at the bottom of a rock. I was very relieved when Fedde’s harness turned out to be much too big and he snapped out again before he was even attached to the cable.

Three guesses who spontaneously set up to skip the draft and instead wait on the terrace with Fedde until the rest was ready.”
