Michi Wohlleben, born in 1990 in Augsburg, Germany, has been tied to the mountains since childhood. At eight, he joined a youth climbing group, while also making his first alpine ascents with his father and brother. By sixteen, he had entered the German Expedition Team, tackling legendary routes such as the Eiger
North Face, the Droites North Face, and the Peuterey Integral. Alongside this, he pushed his limits in sport climbing (up to 8b), mixed and ice climbing (up to M14 / WI7).

At the end of 2009, he decided to focus entirely on personal projects and training, and at only 21 became a mountain guide — one of the youngest in Germany. In the following years, he gained international recognition for his extraordinary winter performances on the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, as well as for difficult first ascents such as Optimist and Stirb Langsam.

His career spans the Alps and the great mountain ranges of the world, with expeditions to the Himalaya, the Andes, and Patagonia. In Morocco, he made the first free ascent of Taghia’s hardest route (Antro.po.cene, 8a, 500 m), confirming
his ability to push the boundaries of modern alpinism.
