Première ascension féminine de Silbergeier en 2011

 

I started climbing at the age of 17 and life took me everywhere from mountaineering, to sport climbing, competitions, and finally onto big walls. In 2011 I was able to do the first female ascent of Beat Kammerlander's Route #Silbergeier in the #Rätikon, which was one of the most remarkable ascents of my climbing career. #NinaTakeover #AccessTheInaccessible 📷 : @stefanschlumpf

"Hélix au pays des merveilles", 8c+

 

In 2014 I trained a lot because I was inspired by a beautiful sport climb called "Hélix au pays des mérveilles". It's a steep and long 8c+, situated in southern France's, "Pic Saint Loup". To achieve that goal I needed excellent physically fitness and high psyche! #NinaTakeover #AccessTheInaccessible 📷 : @raphaelfourau

Pour recharger les batteries : une nuit au milieu d'une grande voie 

 

Climbing to me means being balanced. I can't only push on body, often I need to mentally recharge myself in the environment where I started climbing: the mountains. Spending the night in the middle of a huge alpine climb, surrounded by mountains makes me feel alive and gives me the energy necessary to continue on my way. #NinaTakeover ••• #AccessTheInaccessible 📷 Benoit Merlin

L'escalade au féminin

 

There is a big difference between men and women in climbing. It feels right to me to move on the rocks with the physique I have and to respect certain limits. I like to move smoothly, to enter into a symbioses with body and rock and to push my mental and physical limits as much as I can. All that with style and the beauty of being a women. #NinaTakeover ••• #AccessTheInaccessible 📷 : @flohschaub

La spéléologie, son autre passion

 

#Caving is the ultimate kick to me because it offers the opposite of what I'm looking for in climbing. It's small, dirty, dark and intimidating. I love to push my limits in a cave and when I come up to the surface after couple of days under the earth I realize how gorgeous our planet is! #NinaTakeover ••• #AccessTheInaccessible

"Pour moi, ma plus belle sensation quand je grimpe, c'est de prendre un vol"

 

The most beautiful sensation in climbing to me is taking a big fall. In general our goal is not to fall but when it happens it means that I pushed hard my limits. Often it involves a big portion of adrenalin and I live for that. #NinaTakeover ••• #AccessTheInaccessible 📷 : @jason.bagby ••• @ninacaprez

Au Mont-Blanc par la voie la plus difficile : "Divine Providence"

 

This summer I spent lots of time in the mountains improving my alpine techniques. That taught me about being in the flow and making the right decisions, climbing 200% with your intuition and how to train your mental strength. Divine Providence, Mont Blanc's hardest climb was one of the most memorable moments where all that came together and took me to the summit of Europe's roof after three days of effort. #NinaTakeover ••• #AccessTheInaccessible 📷 : BenoitMerlin ••• @ninacaprez

Un voyage dans une des grandes voies les plus extrêmes du monde : Orbayu, 8c
