Gerald was born in 1965 in Graz, Austria. In addition to being the owner of Agentur-stelzig-alpin, he works professionally as a mountain guide (UIAGM) and a ski instructor.
His hobbies include cycling and ski mountaineering. Gerald’s favorite destinations are Dachstein, Gesäuse, the Dolomites, and Yosemite. When asked what he values most, he says it's being able to return safely from the mountains to his family.
He loves heading to the mountains in autumn, when the weather is most stable. With just a small backpack, he enjoys climbing and soaking in the pleasant autumn sunshine.
Gerald’s dream is to explore new places around the world ideal for climbing and traveling, perhaps even taking another trip to Patagonia or the Yosemite Valley to find the perfect powder snow of his life.
What Gerald says about Direct Alpine: "An excellent team of passionate people dedicated to creating the best clothing. Their commitment to quality is uncompromising. Outstanding pants! And depending on the activity and season... the SUMMIT jacket, GUIDE jacket, FROG fleece, and shirts."
