Reini Scherer is a veteran climber. In the course of his long climbing career, the head of the Innsbruck climbing centre boasts first ascents of around 1500 pitches and, even in his mid-50s, never tires to search for new routes on undeveloped crags. His fame, though, is borne on the success of others: He has discovered and trained the likes of David Lama, Anna Stöhr and Jakob Schubert, and his athletes have won more than 20 medals at world championships.
