Professional alpinist and co-founder of Mountain Synergies, Jost is known for solo climbs at high altitudes. His minimalistic approach is a way for him to set himself difficult goals and to achieve them resource and environmentally friendly.

He dedicates himself to the ‘departure into the unknown’ – winter ascents, new routes and unclimbed peaks; that is what Jost stands for. At the age of 25, in 2018, he was listed for the Piolet d’Or, arguably the most important award for an exceptional performance in extreme alpine sports.
