In our latest production, we accompany some of the most outstanding German-speaking female mountaineers through their own mountain history, including the Austrian Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner, whose successes have significantly changed the image of women in the mountains.
But even before Kaltenbrunner, there were some bold Austrian women who did not allow social stigmas to deter them from their love of mountaineering. This film is a tribute to those women who, unlike their male colleagues, did not find their way into the limelight.
Together with historian and gender researcher Martina Gugglberger and the female mountaineers themselves, we explore the history of women on the mountain and ask whether their mentality on the mountain differs from their male counterparts.
