And then she was really a big mountaineer in the second career. And she was one of the best mountaineers worldwide. Ms. Dallmayr has operated traditional mountaineering. It has placed great emphasis on what she does, how it does, in which style? And it was precisely this view of the mountains, I liked her situation in the mountains. She didn’t make a mistake. On the contrary. Stone chips cannot be turned away. Stone chill in this form, as I imagine. I don’t want to describe this is fatal. You can’t run away. You can at most duck under an overhang. But you can no longer reach the overhang when it is 20 meters away. When stones come, fist -sized and to hundreds, then hardly a rescue is possible. It is great that this time was tried a rescue, under the leadership of Thomas Huber. This is also a matter of course, because this is also part of mountain climbing that we do everything we can to save a foreign life if we can save it. That means we are all mutually involved. But if there is no more rescue, if it is too late, a person who is still intact will examine the way down and save their own life. It would be an inhumanity to put your own life into play if the second life is no longer savable. She left a clear catalog, a catalog of values that should not be saved, so you should not risk human life in order to get it out of this situation. I think this attitude is great. The proof that she also saw through what she did. This is an interference with life and it is a very difficult, dramatic experience. But it is an experience that is of great value afterwards. This contradiction is not resolved. But these near -death experiences, and there was a near -death experience, that’s for sure. They carry us into a dimension of the other side. So we didn’t die, but we stayed alive as if we had died. And if you try mountaineering for a lifetime, you will also have to agree that you may listen to it.
