Peter-Arjen Boers
Peter-Arjen has gained a lot of technical climbing experience in the Alps. Besides a large amount of climbing courses with the Dutch Climbing and Mountaineering Association (NKBV) and Robert Steenmeijer, he made a lot of self organised climbs.
In July 2000 he summited the top of Elbrus as a member of the Dutch Elbrus Expedition 2000. One and a half months later he and Boris Krielen reached the top of Mont Blanc via Mont Maudit and Mont Blanc du Tacul, a heavy high alpine climb. Besides his climbing experience Peter-Arjen has the ability to cool down emotions or to mediate when there are different opinions.
Thoughts of a climber...
"A soft wind touched my face when I was lying on my back in the grass, watching the mountainwall in front of me. With my eyelids pressed together I looked up and thought, why I wanted to go up? Do I have the feeling I expected after the climb, did something change? Of course, yesterday there was joy to have reached the summit, and happiness for the safe return. But today? The evidence of the climb is a bit of tiredness, a name of another mountain and the pressure for the next. Maybe then..."
