Ever since childhood, the alpinist Caro North has followed the call of the mountains, the rock face – up and up, no matter which part of the world. Already at the age of 16, she scaled Argentina’s 6961 metre Aconcagua. Besides having undertaken expeditions in Patagonia, Alaska, Iran and the Himalayas, the experienced young alpinist is a mountain guide in her native Switzerland. In this portrait we follow Caro North up into the icy heights where she feels most at home.
