Stefan Glowacz was always going to become one of the most successful alpinists ever. Born in 1965, in Bavaria, Germany, from an early age his parents shared with him their love of the mountains and different terrains that he would later claim as home. When Glowacz speaks of those childhood memories, it seems he was always destined to climb. "As a child, I climbed on every rock while on hikes with my parents," he remembers.
His fascination with rocks has never left him. After climbing with his parents as a kid, he went on to join a mountain rescue group, a move that developed his skills.
