VP Bank and Karl Egloff: a partnership on the way to the summit
Karl Egloff, one of the fastest mountaineers in the world and known as the "white condor", wants to scale the "Seven Summits" - the highest mountains on each continent - in world record time. After four successful records, his next goal is to climb Mount Everest (8,848m) as quickly as possible. He will compete against his rival Tyler Andrews. Streaming service Netflix will capture this record attempt in a documentary. VP Bank views the cooperation with Karl Egloff as an opportunity to emphasise its values. Climbing the Seven Summits in record time symbolises the commitment and determination to reach new heights – characteristics that also distinguish VP Bank in its daily work in the financial markets. "We are delighted to support Karl Egloff on his journey. His outstanding achievements and passion for mountaineering reflect our own pursuit of excellence and new challenges," says Felix Brill, Chief Investment Officer. "We hope that we can help him achieve his goal, just as we help our clients achieve theirs every day."
