Sanne Bosteels beklom tijdens zijn verblijf op Antarctica verschillende bergen en noemde één ervan naar Koen: Mount De Backer (zie www.peakware.com ).
Koen's levensfilosofie
Ik ben compleet bezeten van alle aspecten van de bergen!! Rotsklimmen, skiën, alpinisme,hiken,... Mijn leven staat in functie van de bergen, de natuur en bovenal het avontuur. Volgens velen het verkwanselen van kostbare tijd, volgens mij het leiden van een leven dat iets te betekenen heeft!! Het leiden van een leven buiten de lijntjes...dat enorm veel voldoening schenkt!
Koen was a passionate climber and part of Mount Coach, a project of the Belgian Mountaineering Federation (KBF).

You can read more on www.mountcoach.org in the section 'what if we forget?'.
Their mount coach leader Sanne Bosteels during a working expedition in Antarctica dedicated one of his ascents in memory of Koen and named a mountain after him (see www.peakware.com ).
Koen' s motto in life was:
I am completely obsessed with all aspects of the mountains! Rock climbing, skiing, alpinism, hiking...
I live my life in dedication to the mountains, the nature and above all adventure. Some might think I am wasting my time, but for me this is living life to the fullest, living life outside of the boundaries of what's normal... and which gives enormous satisfaction!
Koen était un grimpeur passionné et faisait partie de l'équipe Mount Coach, un projet de la Fédération Belge d'Alpinisme (KBF). Ensemble, ils ont escaladé plusieurs montagnes à travers le monde, y compris la face nord des Droites (Chamonix, France), le 'French Direct' Nevada Alpamayo 5947m (Cordillera Blanca, Pérou), le Nevada Churup (Cordillera Blanca, Pérou), le Nevada Ishinca 5530m (Cordillera Blanca, Pérou) et le Khan Tengri 7010 m (la Kirghizie, Kazakhstan).
Le 2 Août 2009, lors de l'ascension du Tocllaraju (6.030 mètres) dans la Cordillera Blanca au Pérou, An Houttequiet, Hans Marien et Koen ont été touchés mortellement par une chute de sérac.
Leur histoire est relatée sur www.mountcoach.org dans la section «what if we forget?».
Sanne Bosteels lors d'une expédition en Antarctique a consacré une de ses ascensions à la mémoire de Koen et a nommé une montagne à son honneur (voir www.peakware.com).
La devise de Koen dans la vie était:
Je suis complètement obnubilé par tous les aspects de la montagne! Escalade, ski, alpinisme, randonnée ... Ma vie est vouée à la montagne, la nature et surtout l'aventure. Certains pourraient penser que je perds mon temps, mais pour moi, c'est vivre pleinement la vie, dépasser les limites de ce qui est considéré comme ‘normal’ ... et ça me donne une énorme satisfaction!~
Koen war ein leidenschaftlicher Bergsteiger und nahm Teil am Mount-Coach Projekt der belgischen Kletter- und Bergsteiger Federation. Zusammen mit der Mount-Coach Mannschaft bestieg er eine Reihe von Bergen auf der ganzen Welt, einschliesslich die Nordwand von ‘les Droites’ (Chamonix), Nevada Alpamayo ‘French direct line’ 5947m (Cordillera Blanca, Peru), Nevada Churup (Peru), Nevada Ishinca 5530m (Peru) und der Khan Tengri 7010m (Kirgizie, Kazachstan).
Am zweiten August 2009, bei dem Aufstief des Nev Tocllaraju (6030m – Cordillera Blanca, Peru) wurden An Houttequiiet, Hans Mariën und Koen tödlich getroffen durch den Absturz einer Lawine (Serac – Eislawine) auf eine Höhe von 5800m.

Koen sein Lebensmotto war :
Ich bin völlig besessen von alle Aspekte der Berge !! Felsenklettern, Skifahren, Bergsteigen, Wandern …. Mein Leben steht völlig in Funktion der Berge, die Natur und vor allem das Abenteuer. Manche denken vielleicht das es Verschwendung ist von kostbarer Zeit, aber für mich ist das ein sinnvolles Leben!! Ein Leben ausserhalb der Grenzen das mir riesige Befriedigung gibt.

El líder del equipo Mount Coach, Sanne Bosteels, dedicó una de sus ascensiones en la antartida en memoria de Koen y nombró una montaña con su nombre (ver www.peakware.com).
El lema de Koen en la vida fue:
Estoy completamente obsesionado con todos los aspectos de las montañas: Escalar en roca, esquí, alpinismo, senderismo ... Vivo mi vida dedicado a las montañas, la naturaleza y sobre todo la aventura. Algunos podrían pensar que pierdo mi tiempo, pero para mí esto es vivir la vida al máximo, vivir la vida fuera de los límites de lo que es normal ... lo que me da una enorme satisfacción!

Several travellers are missing in cache TB-hytta på Berger. The two first log mentioning this and the two latest with the same message are from
– V&V on 12/31/2016: Til overmål var den muglet, dvs vi fant boksen hengende på antatt plass, lokket liggende et lite stykke unna, en fortsatt brukbar logg i en helt ødelagt plastpose litt lenger bort mens alle de sporbare som stod innregistrert og eventuelt annet innhold glimret med sitt fravær. Vi kløv/raste ned skråningen i håp om å finne noen av de sporbare men jorde ikke det - fant bare mer søppel, avføring og leire. = In addition it was muggled, that is we found the box hanging on the assumed place, lid lying a short distance away, a still useable log in a completely destroyed plastic bag a little further away, while all the registered trackables and other content were "obvious in their absence". We climbed/slid down the slope, hoping to find some of the trackables, but did not - found just more garbage, feces and mud.
– Pusken on 01/01/2017: Her var det tomt, noen har nok allerede hentet TBene som tilsynelatende var på hyttetur = Here it was empty, somebody has already retrieved the TBs that seemed to be on a cabin trip.
– Bolla2O on 05/15/2017: Jeg håpet også på å kunne ta med meg en sporbar gjenstand. Jeg fant fort en egnet parkerinsplass, og la på vei innover mot GC. ... Her kunne jeg signere en tørr og fin logg, men den var dessverre tom for sporbare gjenstander. = I also hoped to be able to take with me a trackable item. I quickly found a suitable parking place, and headed towards GC. ... Here I could sign a dry and nice log, but it was unfortunately empty of trackable objects.
– marjør on 05/18/2017: Litt irriterende at de som tar med seg tb'er ikke logger de ut. Det så ut Tim å være mange reisende i cachen,men det var tomt når vi fant den. = A little annoying that those who take TBs, do not log out them. It seemed to be a lot of travellers in the cache, but it was empty when we found it.
TB owner and cache owner, please move the traveller to Unknown Location (Mark Item Missing) if it doesn't show up soon.
