#05 Tina Knorr

If you see Tina Knorr at a Franconian crag, you may or may not see Milo the dog - but you can be sure he’s there. An ex-sled dog with a mix of genes that doesn’t make him well-suited for that job, Milo has had it tough. Now he is - in Tina’s words - “an elderly man that deserves some comforts”, and he does get them: a bowl of minced meat in the morning, his own little crashpad situated at the best shady spot at the crag, a cozy coat for winter days… Although Milo accompanies Tina whenever possible (and she’s allowed to take him to work), he’s easily missed at a crag - that’s because he often prefers to crawl under a bush and hide there from strangers’ eyes.

​“Milo and I are probably a bit similar in this,” Tina says, “both of us prefer to pass under the radar.”
It’s a very relevant remark if you consider Tina’s approach to her climbing. ​
