I am David Boix and I live near Barcelona (Catalonia) and near the Pyrenees Mountains. I am a Mountain Leader, with international certification UIMLA, I am an Arctic Guide and a Wilderness Guide by WGA (Wilderness Guides Association) and a Mountain Ski Instructor by FEEC, too.
I am a mountain-lover. I like the nature and everything related to it. I like doing any activity in the nature and I like sharing it with the people who have the same interests as me.
I respect the people and the local cultures and I try that my activity has an effect on the zone where I do it. I think that to enjoy absolutely the mountain and do it with safety it is necessary that you are trained, both technically and physically.
It is for that, that my life is a constant learning experience. I like knowing where I am and who lives in that zone. I like knowing all that happens around me and all that happened before and I like to observe the tracks and signs that the animals make.
I practice the “Leave no trace”. That is, when I go to the mountain to enjoy it and to enjoy its nature I don’t want that my presence becomes noticeable, both during and after my stay.
This way to understand the mountain and the nature makes me practice a lot of sports and I choose the most appropriate discipline and modality in every situation.
So, I enjoy doing mountaineering, mountain skiing, trekking, course with pulk, snowshoes, rock climbing, fast hiking…
