Emilie Gerhardt
Climbing has shaped my family for many years. I have been active in climbing since my earliest youth and have successfully participated in competitions from the beginning. For years I was a member of the German national team and competed in both international and national competitions. My greatest successes were multiple German champions and a title as vice world champion. After many years in competitive sports, I specialized in rock climbing and have been working as a freelance route setter in climbing and boulder gyms in Germany.

Climbing has fascinated me since my early youth and I have so far put my professional focus on route setting. Here I was Germany on the road in Germany to set both competitions and for normal customer operations.
I have specialized mainly in rock climbing. In 2015, I was able to climb one of the most difficult routes “Action Directe” (9a) in Germany in Franconian Switzerland. Furthermore I was also able to climb the most difficult routes to date in my home area. That is the area of Southern Palatinate with its unique sandstone rocks.
We are Steil
A steep team
So we are steil and proud of it. These are all members of our great team. Every single one has brought us this far and put so much work into bringing us where we are now. Big thanks to all of you – you are steil!
