Every climb, every voyage, every encounter: a new stone in the cairn of a life well lived. In Journey of a Dreamer, mountaineer and craftsman Max Dorfliger traces how the wild teaches us to trust in the unknown – and how the mountains, the desert, and the sea each shape the human spirit.
From soloing the Caroline Face on Aoraki / Mt Cook to restoring high-country huts, Dorfliger’s journey celebrates determination, curiosity, and connection. His words remind us that life isn’t a single ascent – it’s a long traverse through uncertainty, purpose, and grace.
“Trusting in the unknown leads me on a truly unpredictable path.”
