Burning Mountains

Three mountain bikers from Austria - Axel Kreuter, Sylvia Leimgruber & Lars Lotze - wanted to know how they could translate their cycling experiences in the Alps to the completely different terrain of Namibia’s granite rock surfaces. Together they set out to explore the granite of Namibia’s Brandberg Mountain for an epic 2,000 meter trail from the summit. But the trail turned out to be an invisible line between boulders & unusually thick vegetation, and the adventure included struggles with harsh temperatures, punctures, and a dearth of resources.
