“The Stone Hanger is essential, not only for my fingertraining, where it provides different edges and texture, but also for when I’m on the move.”

About Peter
How did you get started in the world of climbing?
When I was 10 years old, I was on vacation with my family when we came across an outdoor wall on Samsø. I remember a group of boys laughing and saying I wouldn't be able to reach the top because of my stump - but I proved them wrong. Much later in life - in 2021, to be exact - I was reintroduced to climbing and started bouldering from then on. It all happened in a short span of time: going from never climbing to climbing several times a week, making the national team, and competing in world cups along the way. A fast-paced and fun journey!
What climbing goals are you striving for now?
A short-term goal of mine is to place on the podium at an upcoming World Cup. When that happens, I'll feel satisfied and know that my training is paying off. After that, I am to qualify for the 2028 Paralympics, where Paraclimbing will make its debut.
Aside from that, my passion project is to inspire others to try climbing, even if it isn't the most obvious thing to do. Challenge yourself - that, to me, is the most important quality. Find your limitations, push them, and flourish.
What drew you to our brand?
One of the most important things to me, both as an individual and as an engineer, is sustainability and responsibility toward nature and local and global communities. Nature Climbing represents this within the climbing community, driving a connection between climbing's roots and our common passion: nature. Their focus on craftsmanship, quality over quantity, as well as responsible use of natural materials is what first drew me to the brand.
What's your favourite Nature Climbing piece of gear?
I love the new t-shirts - the orange shirt has become a crucial part of my weekly rotation. That being said, the Stone Hanger has become an essential part of my training. As someone who isn't able to use a hangboard, the Stone Hanger gives me the versatility that no other product has achieved.
Where can we find you?
You can find me lead climbing at Aarhus Klatreklub (Paraclimbing community meet-ups every Tuesday at 16:30), bouldering at Boulders City, or going for a run around Brabrand Lake when my coach tells me to rest my fingers. You can also follow my journey at the upcoming World Cups on my Instagram.

Can’t climb without
Peter’s Sending Essentials
“When training at home I find that using these holds forces me to rethink my movements, as they are some of the hardest for my stump at the same time being awesome training for my right hand!”
“Well, what can I say, I’m a very warm person and sweat is really just a natural part of that. Using Dry, especially on my right hand helps me decrease slipping and improve friction in high-stakes situations or on projects!”
Highlights
In Peter’s words
How did you get started in the world of climbing?
I had an experience at university, where some of my classmates doubted I (or people) could climb with a shorter-than-usual arm - and so I set out to prove them wrong - ended up climbing with a small community of close friends, and now I travel the world for competitions.
Any tips, tricks, or insights you've gained from your climbing experiences?
It would probably be Magic Woods in Switzerland. Because of its idyllic fairytale-like vibes, mountains, flowing clear water and lots and lots of trees in a small secluded valley.
