BIO
From the Stubai Valley, Austria, Mario officially joined CMRCA in 2004. With over ten years of bolting experience, Mario “The Rock Whisperer” Wild/Austrain Machine is the best in the biz. A man of many talents, when he’s not bolting routes at Crazy Horse you can find him inspecting gear, guiding clients – if necessary in german – leading student programs, co instructing Rescue 3 courses or building climbing walls. He enjoys the simple, makeshift lifestyle of camping and being outdoors, especially when he’s trail running and trad climbing.
