Against pension shock
1000 peaks with more than 1000 meters conquered
Albert Detamble has climbed mountains all over Austria in the past four years. On Tuesday, he achieved his big goal: to conquer 1000 peaks of more than 1000 meters. The now 66-year-old wanted to prevent a possible retirement shock.
It's a wonderful feeling to have achieved this ambitious personal goal. Many pieces of the mosaic were needed. Logistics, planning, a sense of direction, equipment and weather, physical and mental challenges had to be overcome, and there was also a portion of luck," says Albert Detamble from Ebensee proudly.
"Bet of a lifetime" started
Almost four years ago, on the day of his retirement, the now 66-year-old set himself a "life bet" - the ambitious goal: to climb 1,000 different peaks over 1,000 meters high. He wanted to avoid the possibility of a retirement shock.
Highest mountain at the end
His very personal summit journey took him to the Osterhorn group, the Hochkönig and the Tennengebirge in Salzburg, several peaks in the Niedere Tauern and the Leobner in the Enns Valley in Styria, as well as the Ötscher in Lower Austria. The crowning glory for Detamble was the Dachstein. In glorious weather, the 66-year-old reached the summit of Austria's highest mountain with fellow mountaineers at 10.30 a.m. on Tuesday.
