Double8 Expedition in Progress Interview with Benedikt Böhm

Published by Mountainblog on 09/16/2014.

Benedikt “Bene” Böhm, extreme ski mountaineer and extreme skier (speed record Manaslu in 2012) is member of the national German Skimountaineering Team and member of the Dynafit Gore-Tex team; he also works at Dynafit as an international sales manager.

Right in these days he’s taking part of the “Double8” expedition: the mission is to speed climb Shisha Pangma (8,013m) and Cho Oyu (8,201m) and complete the distance between the both basecamps on the bike and in running shoes – within 7 days!

We met him last year during the International Mountain Summit; here’s the video interview we recorded:

The Dynafit brand is for people who live mountain sports and Dynafit is committed to serving all ambitious ski mountaineers. The South Tyrolean brand constantly strives to make the ski mountaineer stronger in all aspects of the sport. All materials and fabrics are carefully sourced, selected, tested and finally implemented. No product management decision is made without a clear 'GO' from our ski mountaineering teams. Our four corporate divisions Boots, Bindings, Skies and Textiles work hand in hand with top teams of mountaineering experts. This is the simple reason why we are always way ahead when it comes to innovation in the ski touring market, be it with the lightest binding made of titan, a carbon boot, or the lightest ski-core technology on the market. Dynafit is an ultra technical brand that often exceeds consumer expectations in a provocative manner. Dynafit challenge is having the lightest, highest performing, yet most trustworthy material at hand. DYNAFIT people reach the top in the fastest time, with the best feeling, and with plenty of power left for the ultimate powder ride. www.dynafit.com
