Danny Vagnozzi interviews Belgian big-waller, social worker and all-round adventure athlete Siebe Vanhee following his role in the Belgian-American team that made the first free ascent of Riders on the Storm in February. They discussed his key climbs and his passion for finding purpose in climbing beyond the 'uselessness' of his personal objectives.
Siebe Vanhee needs no introduction to those following the exploits of adventure big wall climbing. His journey as a professional climber started in Belgium - a country with no big walls - and has taken him across the globe in search of vertical adventures. From the deep jungle of Venezuela, to remote fjords in Greenland and the storm shattered peaks of Patagonia, Siebe has put up impressive first ascents as well as first free ascents. He also has an interest in relations between people, which led him to pursue a degree in social work.
'Climbing is not useless if you teach it to people, and this can mean a lot. It's useless if you go and try your own objective.'
