M A RTA M A N Z O N I LET’S GET OUR FREEDOM BACK «If you go out dressed like this no one will ever touch even in the suburbs», my boss stated seeing me with crutches and a bandaged knee, after a cruciate surgery. «Are you sure you’ll be able to get yourself respected on the set even if you're blonde?», asked me two men during a job interview. «Nowadays, in the mountains, there are more instagram girls like you than real mountaineers», said an Alpine Guide. Behind a great woman there is rarely a great man. Behind every woman there are often offenses and vio-lence, of different kinds. There are women who have been eliminated from history, as happened with alpinism: it is rare to find mentions of female names in books, yet women have always gone to the moun-tains. Lucy Walker, August 22th 1871: the first woman to climb the Matterhorn along the Hörnli ridge. Margaret Jackson, January 1888: the first winter ascent of the Lauteraarhorn. Isabella Charlet-Straton, January 1876: the first winter ascent of the Mont Blanc. Meta Brevoort: the first person in the world to climb the Meije and the first woman climber to wear pants. «Women have always had to fight doubly and bring two weights, the private and the social one», said Rita Levi Montalcini. Anna Torretta, is the only female Alpine Guide in Courmayeur. For ten years she has tried to become an instructor, without success.«You are under pressure
because you are the only wom-an and you are always in the spotlight, you can't do anything wrong. You have to prove that you can suc-ceed better than men, you have to know how to be better than them. You will never be judged on their own level». Gender equality seems to be an unattainable peak, but it is not. You can conquer it. Where to start to or-ganize this extreme expedition? Training and education play an important role. Another fundamental step is to review the law that regulates athletes' contracts in Italy: women who practice full-time sports - yes, even Federica Pellegrini! - are officially amateurs. Italian law does not provide female athletes with professional contracts, which is why many of them enter a military body. «The limit is in our mind. If we believe in ourselves we can break the world, because we are able to suffer more than men», said Tamara Lunger, that we exclusively interviewed for this special issue of The Pill dedicated to women. We love climbing because we can focus on the every move, forgetting all the problems. We love nature be-cause it doesn't judge us, it doesn't expect anything from us, it accepts us as we are and we don't have to prove anything to it. Let's get our freedom back, without fear. Outdoor adventures give us more strength to deal with attacks, misconceptions and stigmatization, every day. Falling helps us to learn how to get up quickly, always with our heads high, despite everything. We are determined and tenacious, we can be-come better and go even further: the limit is only in our mind.

PATAG O N I A S U E S A N H E U S E R - B U S C H J U D G M E N T Patagonia sued the giant Anheuser-Busch InBev, a multinational company that owns brands like
Budweiser, Corona and Beck’s, for launching a beer on the market with a name that evokes is own
logo. Patagonia accuses AB of trademark infringement for tracing the aesthetics of their font and including the silhouette of a mountain. Patagonia also states that AB InBev is appropriating its
image by selling beer and clothing in the pop-up stores of some ski resorts and promoting environmental initiatives that strongly recall the identity of the Ventura brand.

˜ ICEBUG – THE WORLD’S FIRST C L I M AT E P O S I T I V E O U T D O O R B R A N D Icebug is the first outdoor footwear brand recognized as "Climate Positive" by the UN Climate Change, the United Nations secretariat for climate change. The Swedish brand has been producing footwear since 2001 and for several years has set sustainability at the top of its priorities, it has now reached this milestone 10 months ahead of schedule. Being "Climate Positive" means respecting the Climate Neutral Now initiative in three simple steps: measuring the greenhouse gas emissions of the entire company, including production and transportation, making a real commitment to reduce emissions as much as possible, compensate annually emissions that cannot be avoided thanks to initiatives recognized by the UN. Icebug is now launching the challenge to the rest of the sector.
PATAG O N I A - P R OT EC T W I L D F I S H After Artifishal, the feature film that highlights the problems caused by fish farms in the open sea, Patagonia went to Iceland with its ambassadors Mikael Frodin and Katka Švagrova for a new video project called Protect Wild Fish. Nord Atlantic Salmon Fund Iceland and Icelandic Wildlife Fund are fighting against exponential expansion of livestock that increasingly threatens the existence of wild fish. Of particular concern: in 1970, globally, 10 million wild Atlantic salmon eggs were present. Now only 3 million remain. The short film attempts to raise public awareness of the importance of acting for the survival of wild fish, including sea trout and alpine char.

ECO SEVEN OSPREY FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE WESTERN OSPREY Osprey Europe announced its collab with Birds of Poole Harbor, a charity that promotes environmental initiatives in favor of birds and that plays a fundamental role in their preservation and conservation. The common goal is to reintroduce the osprey into key areas for repopulation, such as Great Britain and Northern France, avoiding the decline of the species to which the brand of backpacks owes its name. "The new collaboration undertaken with Osprey is a new and exciting prospect, a project that aims to repopulate the area of this magnificent bird of prey. We are excited to be able to collaborate with such a respected brand and we look forward to finding out how this synergy can involve and inspire a completely new audience", reads the association's press release.
A LWAYS L E S S P L AST I C I N C R A Z Y PAC K AG I N G "Small steps towards a world less polluted by plastic: if there is something superfluous that can only do damage, it is better to eliminate it". So Crazy Idea, an Italian company specialized in technical sportswear, presented an initiative that aims to set an example on the road to sustainability. The brand has announced the introduction of a new packaging in recycled paper (in which the garments can be wrapped and shipped to stores) that reduces the plastic used. Inside the sheets there are ideas on how to recycle and give new life to the packaging material. "Thanks to this initiative we save more than 200,000 bags a year: If every outdoor brand were to do it, a billion plastic bags would be saved�.
C OTO PA X I A M P L I F I E S S U STA I N A B I L I T Y EFFORTS WITH THE HIGG INDEX Cotopaxi has announced its commitment to use the Higg index to guide environmental and social responsibility along the supply chain.

"We welcome the addition of Cotopaxi to the growing number of organizations using the Higg Index and we look forward to participating in this effort" - said Amina Razvi, Executive Director of SAC Interim. "Small and medium-sized enterprises are the backbone of our industry and SAC greatly appreciates their commitment to accelerating change".

t consist of a line made of lightweight, breathable and durably waterproof jackets that prevent water absorption thanks to the rigorously tested, innovative and guaranteed water repellent outer layer. This is the lightest Gore-Tex fabric available on the market. This technology, combined with Polartec Alpha insulation, gives life to a polyester mesh made of low-density fibers that allow the dispersion of sweat. "We chose this insulating and versatile material because it is incredibly light and it dries as quickly as possible. Moreover, together with the Gore-Tex Shakedry technology, the high level of breathability proves its effectiveness�, underlined Jßrgen Erd, Product Manager. When the rain falls on the outer membrane the water is collected in drops and literally slips off the surface, preventing the cooling and weighting typical of wet clothes. The cooling effect disappears, an advantage that is priceless especially in the most gruelling climbs or runs, the humidity is removed from the body and is blocked from the outside. This eliminates the need to dress with multiple layers and then gradually take
their functionality, pre-venting chilling effect due to the presence of moisture on the fabric, and drying very quickly, while ensuring maximum breathability. The jackets of this line feature one of the most breathable Gore-Tex laminates ever. The garments in Gore-Tex Shakedry are then very lightweight and take up very little space so they can be carried everywhere without feeling the weight. Some jackets also include the Gore-Tex stretch technology. Cycling on a mountain pass or running to an appointment, these clothes follow the body's move-ments without limiting them. Thanks to the stretch materials integrated in the strategic points, they of-fer maximum freedom of movement without sacrificing style. The inside of the garment is equipped with a functional textile fabric for optimum comfort on the skin. Other interesting details include a vel-cro adjustable collar, a back pocket with zip, sleeves with elastic cuffs and partially elasticated hems, as well as reflective logos and prints.

The Keen Boat in Amsterdam BY GIULIA BOCCOLA

he instructions on the invitation said something like this: "As soon as you land, take the first train to Rotterdam and once at the station, go to this bike rental shop and follow the road to the hotel which is just after the Erasmus Bridge, in this way you will have the chance to get a little sneak peek of the typical Dutch life”. Soon after we met the other members of the group, coming mainly from Northern Europe, Germa-ny and England and then Keen's European team, we rode our bicycles and reached the brand’s hea-dquarters. A single and large open space, divided according to the different areas of competence. A comfortable place, with attention to details and obviously made of recycled materials, as demon-strated by the wooden floor coming form an old gym. A stimulating, creative and aggregation area. Keen is a young brand, born in 2003 in Portland, Oregon which has managed to distinguish itself by focusing on sustainability, strongly supporting its values and trying to convey its continuous willing to work. It is not just an American company specialized in footwear, but it is a brand created for the outdoor, which feels the need to do more, to make the world a better place, taking into considera-tion the the environment with its families, community and future. Can a sandal protect the toes? From this simple design challenge it all started and the brand’s values began to emerge, those which still today are real cornerstones for the company: quality, integrity, health and attention to details are the basis of everything and make Keen the reality it is today.
We’ve been invited to the presentation of their inaugural tour: "Better takes action Boat", in collabo-ration with their partner Plastic Whale, an association active in the Netherlands and in the world for more than fifteen years, where they unveiled the launch of their boat, made with waste collected in the Amsterdam canals and then recycled. The boat is characterized by a bright yellow hull, a color that recalls the brand's logo. A beautiful initiative that aims to educate and raise awareness about sustainability. We’ve been divi-ded into three groups on three different vessels and we had the chance to try the real experience of channel cleaning together with Plastic Whale volunteers. Only in a couple of hours, thanks to the fishing nets they gave us, we collected a dozen bags filled with plastic, polystyrene, glass bottles and other kind of garbage. Keen's initiative is just another example of their commitment in having a heal-thy and clean environment. Over the years they have always striven to give the right example, sup-porting and involving a variety of initiatives including cleaning beaches and mountains, but also do-nating funds and products during the worst natural disasters in recent years. This summer they are sailing with their new boat to spread their message in Hamburg and Munich, Germany on June 22nd and 30th and in London, UK on July 13th. Just a small action is enough to achieve a big change. The ocean in 2050 will be a complete dump and proportionally we will have more plastic than fish. Is that the future we want?

La Sportiva International Sales Meeting BY DENIS PICCOLO
The International Sales Meeting in Trento: DJ sets, happy hours in the city center and the opening of the first La Sportiva store. The annual International Sales Meeting organized by the company has invited all the main world dealers of the brand to Trento to discover a preview of the news for the 2020 summer season, and also to the inauguration of the La Sportiva mono brand store. The store's inauguration event was open to the public who did not miss the opportunity to gather in the city center and take a look at the performances of athletes and street dancers, while enjoying good music and a rich happy hour with typical products from the Val di Fiemme, place of birth and production site of the brand. “Innovation with passion”, the company pay-off celebrates the past while looking at the future and to-wards innovation. “The experience that La Sportiva wants to offer to its fans through stores and all rela-ted communication activities - explains Luca Mich, Marketing Operations Manager - is a 360-degree expe-rience aimed at involving all the senses of a person who, through a pleasant, familiar environment with a high attention to detail, can feel part of the La Sportiva family. Here comes the idea of taking care of the sound aspect through a sound-branding operation: from this year whoever enters one of the 8 La Sporti-va stores will hear sounds and content specifically developed for LaSpo Radio.” La Sportiva International Sales Meeting wanted to further emphasize the evolution of the footwear com-pany as a worldwide brand, thanks to a complete offer that covers all the ways up to the mountains and it consists of both technical and leisure clothing and footwear lines. “Whether you choose to climb out-doors or in the gym, run in the mountains and on dirt paths, go skiing or go to the mountains for excur-sions for one or more days - said Lorenzo Delladio, CEO & President - La Sportiva is able to meet all your needs on various levels: our lines go from the professional to the amateur who wants to wear the Trenti-no brand even in his free time.” Up to date there are 8 brand stores made in La Sportiva: the new openings of Pozza di Fassa and Trento are the latest addition to the sales points of Ziano di Fiemme, Cavalese, Arco (all in the province of Tren-to), Finale Ligure, Rodellar (Spain) and Mexico City. The Trentino brand is surely looking to the future.

Black Diamond launches PFC Free Apparel. According to Trent Bush, vice president of Black Diamond Equipment apparel line “The GTT Empel Breathable Water Protection DWR is a major breakthrough in performance, durability, and sustainability. Black Diamond is integrating this technology into many of its new products. Whether intended for summer or winter, this technology will bring incredible new performance of incomparable value. We are very excited.�

Since the beginning, mountains has been the core of Black Diamond. Its product portfolio started with climbing gears and then expanded continuously throughout the years including mountaineering and skiing gears as well as apparel. This spring, Black Diamond introduced a trail running line made of gait-ers, running backpacks, poles and some wind shells, especially the Distance Wind Shell – a windproof and waterproof extremely lightweight and breathable trail running jacket realized with revolutionary green technology by Green Theme Technologies. The Distance Wind Shell combines superior weather resistance and breathability while only weighting 75g. It stands out for the unique treatment launched in close collaboration with Green Theme Tech-nologies. Breathable Water Protection Technology consists of a profound fusion of the treatment with each fiber of the fabrics, very different from the sprays that are instead used to cover them. Unlike water-repellent treatments (DWR) C-6, C-8 or C-0, this certified process does not use water in its pro-ductions, it is totally devoid of perfluorocarbons (PFC) and its resistance to washing remains undefeat-ed at the moment.
5 K E Y A DVA N TAG E S OF THE EMPEL TECHNOLOGY 1 . Clean chemistry is the foundation of Empel. GTT uses no harmful chemicals like PFCs that can cause damage to the environment. 2 . No water. All the textile factories of the world use water to dye the clothes we wear and water-repellent products. Empel technology is based on monomers, molecular constituents applied directly to tissues and then fused into polymers to coat each fiber. This process gives better protection to fab-rics and a more lasting treatment than any other water-based one.
Since the beginning, mountains has been the core of Black Diamond. Its product portfolio started with climbing gears and then expanded continuously throughout the years including mountaineering and skiing gears as well as apparel.
3 . Zero emissions. Since Empel doesn’t use water in the production process, there is no risk of con-taminating the environmental water reserves. All the chemical products used for the treatment of the fabrics are bound to the fibers and become part of them. 4 . Unchanged performance means that Empel puts the best water repellent products on the market, protecting the environment. Creating a useful solution for the environment does not mean sacrificing performance. The pressure process uniformly protects each fiber, creating an invisible and hyper-water repellent barrier without reducing the breathability of the fabric. 5 . Specific creations. The substances at the base AND the production process itself are completely in-novative, so the end of water-based treatments is changing things. Empel creates a hyper-water re-pellent barrier to protect each fiber. The new, ultra light, windproof BD shell is the perfect example, protecting the wearer from both wind and rain.

Six reasons why the Oberalp Convention was a Blast BY M A R TA M A N ZO N I
The traditional Oberalp Convention that takes place every year in Alpbach, Austria, is anything but traditional, here are 6 good reasons why we liked it a lot.
2 . E N V I R O N M E N TA L S U STA I N A B I L I T Y A N D C O R P O R AT E S O C I A L RESPONSABILITY
1 . LO CAT I O N Alpbach Alpbach is an Austrian city in Tyrol. Every spring and autumn, in the modern convention center in front of the mountains and harmoniously inserted into the environment, the 2,561 inhabitants are joined by about 500 people, gathered for the Oberalp Group Convention. Inside the architectural heart of the building consisting of a glass spiral, a large window and an underground structure on the mountain slope, a full day for discovering the innovations of the four Oberalp brands takes place.
Contribute is the key word that represents the mission of the Oberalp group, which is committed in a far-sighted way to environmental sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility, the two themes at the center of the international event. "As a family company we do not think in terms of quarters but in the long term, and this is the center of our idea of sustainability", explained Ruth Oberrauch.
32
“We constantly look at the future, the world we are leaving to our grandchildren: sustainability is a choice we want to believe and invest in."
particularly committed to these issues in the company is Ruth Oberrauch, HR Business Partner and Head of Sustainability of the Oberalp Group. An awareness that is also perceived by the creation of a specific shoe: the Alpenviolet K, designed exclusively for the ergonomics and biomechanics of women. Salewa's R&D team has accurately mapped the feminine shape of the foot to develop a comfortable and welcoming fit.
3. REAL LIFE MANNEQUINS Miranda Priestly from ‘The Devil wears Prada’ would have fainted during the runway. No stiletto heels, no catwalk. Instead of lipstick, magnesite. The models marched together with the brand's ambassador athletes wearing mountaineering helmets and rope backpacks, and showing to the public the aesthetic refinement of the elegant garments, then they turned into real life mannequins, perfectly still and posing, ready for photographers' shots.
The result is a shoe with a more slender profile, but with a higher and wider instep and a more generous drop. From an aesthetic point of view, the Alpenviolet K speaks for itself. The front part features a simple and clean design that matches the athletic and modern style of the small gaiter on the ankle, which also has the function of avoiding stone intrusions. The light construction means less effort when hiking and more comfort. Finally, to tackle the technical mountain terrain, the Salewa designers have equipped the Alpenviolet K with a new Pomoca sole designed to accommodate the natural movement of the roll and guarantee an effective grip.
4. DRY BACK AND SPLIT SHOULDER STRAP The future of backpacks is called Dry Back. The Salewa R&D team has found the solution to realize more breathable and at the same time more flexible backpacks. From this research was born the technology that allows to keep the backpack in contact with the back, but at the same time air can circulate, decreasing the body temperature through a micro ventilation system with 3D air channels.
6 . SA L E WA AG N E R DURASTRETCH DRY JACKET
Completely redesigned for mountaineering activities, days that starts at dawn, steep approaches and technical expeditions, the new Alpex Climb backpack has a design that emphasizes the effect of micro ventilation and comfort, perfect features for the wearer and for many hours in the mountains. It has an extremely dynamic, clean and compact shape, despite the large volume. It is made of Robic, a special very sturdy nylon with a more than 60% tear resistance level compared to traditional nylon fabrics for backpacks, and can withstand rocks, crampons, and ice tools. Furthermore, the system of magnetic buckles allows you to attach the rope with one hand. The Dry Back is the distinctive element of the Salewa backpacks, and from now on it will always be present in the most important products of the brand, together with the Split Shoulder Strap construction, the split shoulder system that allows greater mobility to the arms, guaranteeing maximum fluidity in movements over the head: a freedom that in the mountains often means safety.
Salewa's R&D team has redefined the standard of clothing for climbers facing the great alpine walls. The new Agner Durastretch Dry Jacket is a versatile jacket that alone performs the functions of more than two layers - technical underwear, insulating layer and water-resistant windproof shell. From the base of the wall to the summit, climbers will not have to wear anything other than this light and resistant garment to protect themselves from wind, cooler temperatures and even occasionally rain. Made with Durastretch Dry fabric, it is breathable and can be worn directly on the skin, like a technical underwear.
5. WOMEN
This jacket was designed to be worn tightly like a second skin: the athletic design, the 4-way stretch fabric and the flat seams favor the climber's movements even in the most complicated holds.
The high-density braided weave creates a barrier that protects from the wind and resists even to light rain, making the use of a windproof shell superfluous. At the same time, this fabric lets excess hot and humid air pass by avoiding getting too hot during the most challenging pitches. It is also a garment that easily adapts to changes in weather conditions, thanks to the high and protective collar, and the deep half frontal zipper.
Oberalp is a company that is also attentive to diversity and equal opportunities, both internally - there is a company kindergarten in the main office - and externally. A person
Oberalp Convention in 3 words? Stylish, visionary, unique.

In 1846, Anton Oberrauch started a family business that, six generations later, his heirs continue to run. A conscious use of resources, respect for the environment, a boundless passion for sport and the moun-tains are parts of the corporate culture.

Tells us about your story. How did you get to cover the role you have today in the company? I studied Economics and Management at the University of Verona. After graduating, I worked for a year in London in the Pentland Brand, a family business that operates in the sports, footwear and clothing sec-tor, where I had the opportunity to get to know closely different departments: legal, CSR, marketing, product management. After this experience, I returned to Italy and started working in Salewa’s marke-ting department, a few years ago. Slowly I started to bring sustainability issues to the company's atten-tion, topics I had known in terms of strategy within the Pentland Brand.
[...]
We share the love for the out-door and I believe this reflects in taking care of people: leaving space for their passions even in the workplace. But it also means considering people in all their aspects: strengths, personal needs, motivation and private context.
At the beginning it has been tough but then, creating working groups and involving people, I started to set up the CSR activity we do today in Oberalp. Then I had my second child and since I had never stopped for the first one, this time I took two years off, during which I got a master's degree in Innsbruck in Management, Psychology and Leadership. That's how I started working in HR: at that time Oberalp was looking for an HR Manager for Italy and they asked me if I wanted to accept this new challenge, considering that I already knew well the various roles and company dynamics. Nowadays I have two positions: Head of Sustainability and HR Busi-ness Partner. Human Resources: what does taking care of people mean to you? We often say that we are a team of mountain and sports enthusiasts, dreamers and adventure lovers: that's what we all have in common. Oberalp’s environment is like a family, we all have a friendly relation-ship, we go out together in the evening. It seems to me that, especially for the people who come from outside Bolzano, is very easy to make friends within this context, because we share the love for the out-door and I believe this reflects in taking care of people: leaving space for their passions even in the workplace. But it also means considering
36
people in all their aspects: strengths, personal needs, motivation and private context. You’ve just come back from a corporate trip to Corsica. It's difficult these days for a company to give such a gift to its employees. My grandfather launched this initiative. Every five years we go on a trip together: five years ago we were in Albania and before that in Morocco. It has been a nice experience, we stayed in a secluded campsite in northern Corsica. It is a unique opportunity to get to know each other better and create a context that will help you later, in your working life. For these team buildings we always look for places that are a bit isolated, where you can really do team building: there are those who climb, those who do bouldering, those who take the opportunity for hiking or just resting on the beach, but then we all get together at lunch and dinner. The manager sleeps close to the graduate in a tent next to each other for five days. It is also thanks to these activities that people decide to work for Oberalp, for feeling part of a team, a family. In your headquarters you have he biggest climbing wall in Italy. The Salewa Cube, which is free for employees, is our climbing gym. It also has a very large bouldering wall both outdoor and indoor. It is built inside our futuristic glass headquarters and its peculiarity is having a huge door that can be completely opened when the weather is nice, making the difference between in-side and outside imperceptible in order for the climbers to feel as if they were really outdoor. We also have a small in-house fitness studio, which employees also use during lunch breaks to train. What is your relationship with the mountains? I grew up in the mountains, such a natural element to me that it is difficult to think of not having them. When I was 3 I started skiing. At 8 my father took me to the Catinaccio, at 9 I started snowboarding and a few years later I put the skins on the first few times. As children we were always in the mountains on weekends, and that hasn’t
changed. I go to the mountains in summer and winter, with friends, with my husband but also with my family. Although we often prefer hiking to climbing because of the children, we have recently completed the first via ferrata with our two kids. With my husband I mainly do ski touring. I also have a group of ski mountaineering girls friends and every year we do a girls-hiking tour of a few days, the last one was on the Amalfi Coast and it was wonderful.
What we are trying to avoid as a company is the concept of shrink&pink, as I call it, that means realizing women's collection simply by making men's products a little smaller and a little more pink. It is a topic that I personally care about. In Salewa we have also established a women taskforce, [...] who meet to discuss the different needs and to think about specific products for women.
Professionally, what is your most important success in Oberalp? Thinking back over the years in the company, I think that when I started bringing the theme of sustainabi-lity to the table, about seven years ago, it was not a deeply felt thing. Seeing that we have succeeded in implementing policies and that sustainability is an integral part of business processes, of people's thoughts and a topic that everyone feels, is certainly a great satisfaction.
have on the environ-ment - with our products and production processes - by choosing more sustainable materials, investing in research and development to find new solutions, implementing a strict chemical policy and working with providers. You are also very attentive to gender equality, both externally and internally Oberalp. For example with your company kindergarten. This is a very important subject to us because it allows many mothers to continue with their careers: re-conciling family with work is fundamental and I am referring not only to mothers but also to fathers. I am convinced that the system can change only if the fathers also take their responsibilities in the work - fami-ly compromise, it is a theme we are working on. However, personally, I hope to see more women in Obe-ralp's senior management in the future.
What does sustainability mean to you
You’ve also realized specific products
and Oberalp? Our company has always been very attentive to people, but we have grown a lot and in no time so at the beginning there was no strategy or long-term goal behind these projects: this is the last important step we have succeeded in. We always put people first, not just employees, but also people who work in fac-tories that are not owned by us but where our products are made.
for women. What we are trying to avoid as a company is the concept of shrink&pink, as I call it, that means realizing women's collection simply by making men's products a little smaller and a little more pink. It is a topic that I personally care about. In Salewa we have also established a women taskforce, a team of women from various fields, product, marketing, sales, but also external ones who meet to discuss the different needs and to think about specific products for women. It is nice to see the energy and enthusiasm in all these projects.
For five years now we have been a member of FWF, the most severe association among those whose objective is to improve working condi-tions in factories. We have reached the "FWF leader status", a recognition for our commitment in this area. We feel the responsibility to give something back to the community, but that’s not enough. The se-cond pillar on which our sustainability work is based is, alongside the "people" theme, the "product" to-pic. We make products to experience nature and the mountains and therefore it is normal to take care of them and be aware of them. We try to reduce as much as possible the impact we
37
What are your next goals within Oberalp? I’ve got many. Distribution is changing so quickly that surely this is a challenge to be overcome, both in terms of distribution channels and consumers’ needs and demands. We need to understand trends quickly, because sometimes, when you're big, the difficulty is just to be able to adapt to them fast enough.

Alessandra Raggio Behind the Banff
Banff Mountain Film Festival is one of the most prestigious film festivals dedicated to mountain and outdoor enthusiasts in general. It was born more than 40 years ago in the town of Banff, Canada, and every year brings together the best of the international mountaineering world and much more. PHOTO FILIPPO MARCHI
Alessandra, tell me something about you. My story is full of ups and downs. I was born at the sea, in Genoa, then life leads me to spend times on the mountains and get to know them more and more closely to the point of falling in love with those places, where in a few steps you can find silen-ce... I graduated in Economics and Commerce without too much conviction but my desire was to travel and meet new realities. I spent a decade between London and New York, changing my life path and after an experience at the Metropolitan Mu-seum of Art as an Italian guide, I went back to Italy. Milan is my final destination, a city I am very grateful to because it offered me the right incentives to pull out the desire to get involved. From the publishing and art world I arrived to the mountai-neering world where I work as a press office, editor, photo editor and author. From 2013 I am the co-founder of the Alt(r)ispazi Association, I also have some editorial (the book Masters of Heights. History of the mountain guides of Ayas) and exhibi-tions projects, such as the expo dedicated to the 150th anniversary of the first ascent of the Matterhorn (1865-2015) for the Museum of the Cervino Guide Socie-ty. Then comes the Banff.
When did you have the idea of bringing Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour (BMFF WT) to Italy? The idea was born in Italy 8 years ago in front of an espresso cup and from the de-sire to go back traveling and working in an international environment. I knew the Canadian festival and the World Tour and that theirs movies had not arrived in Italy yet. I thought it was really a pity because they show mountains highlighting even the most joyful aspects: the creativity of a project shared with friends, determination, believing in your dreams. Furthermore, the exhibition also reflects modernity, that young way of respecting the past without apparently taking it as an example. Tell me what BMFF WT is about. Banff Mountain Film Festival is one of the most prestigious film festivals dedicated to mountain and outdoor enthusiasts in general. It was born more than 40 years ago in the town of Banff, Canada, and every year brings together the best of the interna-tional mountaineering world and much more. Directors, athletes, writers: for nine days (thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the hashtag #nineepicdays
38
came from) the small town of the Al-berta region becomes the capital of the world of mountaineering. There, a number of films is selected among the finalists to be part of the World Tour, which today has reached 45 countries worldwide. The World Tour begins immediately after the end of the show in Banff and each country chooses its selection between the movies available, according to its audience. Each evening there is a 2 hours and a half event in which a dozen of mountain and action sports short and medium-length movies are presented. How much is important, in your opinion, bringing the mountain into the city through these movies? I believe it is important first of all because our life in the cities risk to become very detached from the nature we are part of, and this can undermine our well-being. Rediscovering contact with the environment in a respectful way is a source of great inspiration for our creativity because it frees new energies that often, due to an essentially sedentary daily life, end up being tamed. Often the expeditions of our movies take
place in remote and wild places, but there are also some examples where adventures can be found close to your own home and this is precisely the spirit that we want to promote: rediscovering the taste for the unknown and looking at what seems known to us through new eyes. How do you select the movies? The movies we choose must create a connection between the viewer and the mountain and the outdoor environment, they must be engaging and bring you through a real journey. We aim to share a collection of films that show the different faces of these environments and how people interact with them. We also try to meet the ta-stes of our audience, sometimes favoring disciplines such as skiing and climbing, which are the most practiced by people, as shown by the our latest researches. Other times we choose the most creative adventures or we decide to reward the quality of the images, as happened this year with Tierra del Viento, the story of a photographer in love with Patagonia who lives to shoot those incredible scenarios. It is a somehow "meditative" but very suggestive movie. There are films that, in some way, impose themselves, either because the type of story told, or perhaps for the athletes involved but, often, those considered minor are no less successful. In gene-ral, we try to guarantee a good alternation between short and medium-length mov-ies and this is very appreciated by our audience.
a young audience of pas-sionate climbers. And speaking of climbing, 2019 was a particularly important year for us: in fact, we had the privilege of distributing, exclusively in Italy, Free Solo, the film that shows Alex Honnold's challenge on El Capitan and that was also awarded with the Academy Award for best documentary. The movie had a huge success and so far over 250 film projections have been organized in 100 cities in Italy. The movie has been loved by a very heterogeneous audience, even outside the world of clim-bing thanks to an engaging storytelling and an undoubtedly extraordinary adven-ture. What are your plans for the future? We’re certainly working to make our three main events grow more, increasing the number of cities involved and working to strengthen local communities. We may be follow other special projects, but it is still early to tell and... you can’t climb El Capi-tan in one day!

What does the word outdoor word mean to you? Outdoor is what brings you “outside” but also “out of your comfort zone”. It is a lifestyle that looks for a new relationship with nature and a deeper connection with yourself, sometimes putting your limits to test, but also simply enjoying the moment and the beauty that surrounds you when you are in that environment. Beside Banff, what other projects are you working on? Beside Banff Mountain Film Festival, we’ve been organizing the Ocean Film Festival in Italy for 3 years, a film festival dedicated to the world of the sea and the oceans which has a format similar to the Banff and offers a selection of movies coming from the homonymous Australian event. Then last year we’ve decided to bring to thea-tres the Reel Rock movies which are dedicated to climbing. We made a 5-stage tour in 2018 which turned out to be very promising, involving

Death to the social victims! T E X T BY F R A N C E S C O " PAC O " G E N T I LU C C I PHOTO KEN ETZEL R U N N E R J E N N S H E LT O N
The world of ultrarunning is largely male. Even the outdoor world in general is. Maybe thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I never mee girls who run.
Death to the fashion victims! They are part of the problem. The ones who post their butts and tits pretending to run, all make up, with their hair done and their perfect smiles. I would like to see them running 100 miles with the cheekbones coming out, the dark circles hollowed out and the gaze lost in the void after a whole night in the mountains under the heaviest rain. Probably they would not reach the finish line and they would go in search of other breasts to suck, where thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not much space to go beyond their physical limit. They would go back to their luxury cars books and in sports where they keep umbrellas for pilots with fishnet stockings and cameramen that frame them from below.
The percentage of girls in outdoor sports is very low, it's a fact. Experts in the gender theories are well aware that even sport can become an instrument of gender manipulation; however, running is not a "female" sport. So why are there so few girls running? As the distance increases, sex, age and any other differences are reduced. The distance cuts out any social inequality: even ugly people run. Ultrarunning is based on the one and only universal assumption of suffering. Everyone is able to suffer. Fatigue is democratic, an innate principle in mankind. The point is: everyone can run. Bald men, women, people of any color, tall, short, fat and skinny: everyone can run and suffer.
Fashion victims are the ones that make girls who are trying hard looking like stupid. You have been fighting for centuries and you are now being trampled by an ever increasing number of bodies that just attract brands and the whole sports world with their asses. The world of ultrarunning does not deserve the oligarchy of the vanity of beauty contests. Vanity in ultrarunning is not a value;

prizes and competitions are not won by the most beautiful. It is not Miss Italia, there is no jury that can vote those who have the firmer butt and there is no vote from home. It is not even an intelligence competition and nobody cares if you want to bring peace to the world or be the killer of your own classroom. Even fools have the right to run, and maybe run faster than you. Once a priest passed me by, I'm serious.

I'm sick of seeing only men on the trails. Death to fashion victims!

Tropical Yoga BY THOMAS MONSORNO
Bali is a small island in Indonesia which is often called The Island Of Thousands Temples,The Island of Gods, and Bali Dwipa. Balinese culture was strongly influenced by Indian, Chinese, and particularly Hindu culture, around the 1st century AD. The name Bali Dwipa ("Bali Island") has been discovered on various inscriptions, including the Blanjong pillar inscription written by Sri Kesari Warmadewa in 914 AD that mentions "Walidwipa".
B
ali is a popular holiday destination place thanks to its culture, natural resources and very positive vibrations that allow you to relax, heal, and improve spiritual competence. Thanks to its popularity Bali is visited by millions of tourists from all over the world every year and most of them always return to Bali for various reasons like feeling the positive vibrations, meeting friendly and modest people, or to enjoy nature and just relax while recharging positive energy. That's why Bali won the Best Destination of the World award on Trip Advisor and on other sites about traveling. The inner strength of Bali cannot be separated from its particular history and with a decidedly spiritual imprint. The island of Bali is predominantly Hindu which includes devotional services, picturesque offerings and rituals of gratitude and thanksgiving to the divinity. Ubud is perhaps one of the most popular places in Bali where culture, art, spirituality and history refer to the sacred masters of the past. That's why it's the best place to regenerate, relax, recharge and retire. Ubud comes from ubad which means "medicine". At the time of Maharsi Markandeva, Ubud's nature already possessed a curative vibration for all those who were subjected to various illness. When Maharsi Markandeva and all his troops from Java suffered a mysterious illness, they performed a complete healing ritual of offerings to Ubud that eventually did the miracle and saved the soldiers, although some remained victims of the strange illness. There are various reasons and stories related to Ubud that makes it different from all other places in Bali. But in general the island transmits strong power to those who decide to improve their spiritual strength
spiritual aspect of our lives. The mind often oscillates between the past and future, causing worry and anticipation. Desires, fear, cravings, aversions are pitfalls for the mind. To abandon these conflicts, it is essential to bring the mind back to the present moment. Yoga helps to dispel accumulated stress and negative feelings from the mind. Pranayamas bring peace to the agitated mind. With the regular practice of various yoga positions, we can see clarity emerge, increase the balance and flexibility of the body while becoming healthier, stronger and more attentive. "For me, spirituality is about living a happy life here and now, responding to situations instead of reacting against them, taking a step back and reconnecting to my ego to find new answers to situations that recur. And that's exactly what I get from these practices!” Yoga and meditation have proved to be a powerful combination and many enthusiasts love to complete their routine with this last one. When the tottering body stabilizes and the disturbed mind reaches calm, meditating we can reach a great sense of relax. Spirituality gives us the inner strength to face difficult situations and keep a smile. Rooted in the ego, inner peace is projected to the outside, making us human beings better, more compassionate, full of love and ready to share. Yoga and meditation clear every single level of consciousness, leaving us refreshed and regenerated. Do you recognize that something deep does not change? Deepen the practice of yoga and elevate your spirit. Spirituality is certainly not a game, it is not a question of sitting down and doing things, but of revisiting the truth about ourselves. Bali Yoga Master is one of the perfect places for retreats, healing and learning to improve spiritual abilities including yoga and meditation. Bali Yoga Master has several programs that help many people to rediscover themselves, release stress, worry, trauma, where to start a self healing or self management process, and where you can also train to become yoga teacher.
Ubud is also very popular for yoga and meditation. We are not talking about a simple lifestyle, but the use of practices to connect our inner self to our spirit. These practices are the holistic package for a happy life. They provide techniques for uniting body, mind and breath and connecting us with the core of our inner being - the

Anna Ferrino and her Ferrino Women Team ITW DENIS PICCOLO
of the Ferrino Women Team have distinguished themselves over the years obtaining important awards - not least the female podium of Scilla Tonetti with her second place at Tor 2018.
Where does the idea to create a Ferrino Women Team come from? The project was born in 2017 from the multi-year partnership between Ferrino and Tor des Geants, a very tough ultratrail competition where many exceptional women took part and face a challenge made of 330 km and 24,000 meters in altitude. More than 10% of the total number of participants in the race are women and there is also an important female part among the organizers and the volunteers of the event. For this reason our company has decided to tell the feminine side of the race through its athletes, gathered under the name of Ferrino Women Team.
The Ferrino Women Team is an example of how people with ordinary work and life can also achieve great goals, like running at Tor des Geants, the hardest ultratrail race in the world, becoming â&#x20AC;&#x153;giantsâ&#x20AC;? themselves. It is important for Ferrino to have athletes motivated to always improve themselves, to let their human side shine both in social media communication and in everyday life: real people, with normal jobs, a family and a life not as professional athletes, girls with a great passion that train hard for achieving results and who pursue dreams with the support of Ferrino.Â
But Ferrino also wanted to give a voice to the women of Tor, telling their most personal and intimate sides, emphasizing the stories of the women who, through various organizational roles, have been able to create a mythical and excellent event.
Can you describe some of them both from the sport and the personal point of view? These Ferrino women represent us all, each in their own way. From the exuberance of Alice and Scilla, who are mountain races and ultratrail lovers and high altitudes specialists - Alice is a four times finisher at Tor des Geants and Scilla got second place among women in the last edition - up to the technique and experience of Katia Figini and Luisa Balsamo - the first girl to won a world record, the only woman to have crossed 5 deserts in 5 different continents in one year, the second ultra long experienced marathon runner, expert in all kinds of long distance running, from the desert to the mountain.
Ferrino is embracing trail running thanks to this team. The Trail Running collection is born from the need to complete the Ferrino line with garments dedicated to this sector which is growing strongly and that is loved by many outdoor enthusiasts. An outdoor company like Ferrino, which produces backpacks, poles and technical clothing, cannot fail to have a line specifically designed for this activity, which represents the present and the future and is imposing trend lines even between walkers and hikers that are now using increasingly lightweight and essential gears.
All our athletes have a huge passion, which translates into an infinite number of ultra trail races: Tor de Geants in first place, but also Marathon des Sable, Mont Blanc ultra trail, Patago-
How did you choose the girls of the team? What really matters for Ferrino is not only the result and performance. However the athletes

nia, Omani desert, Sahara desert. The variety of attitudes, experiences and geographical origins, from Palermo to Varese, makes the team unique and united, the diversity of its members reveals the common denominator to all the girls, which is the love for the outdoor and nature. Important values also for Ferrino.
the route between the Valle d'Aosta valleys and the Tor volunteers are supplied by Ferrino tents and sleeping bags. The sponsorship of this race gets stronger from year to year and in 2017 it has been enriched by the Ferrino Women Team, that since 2018 is composed by international athletes. 10 years of sponsorship, 10 years of memories, can you tell me one? Tor des Geants is getting more and more thrilling at every edition, not only for the athletes' performances but also for the air you breathe: the passion of the participants, their relatives, the organizers and the volunteers. In the last edition I witnessed something unexpected and unique. It was not just about one of our athletes who took the podium, finishing second among women, but also about a confirmation and a result for the whole team, a project that silently started two years ago as a challenge for our brand and for the girls involved. Getting on the female podium was a way to achieve what we have always believed in, the fact that even tough races like Tor’s, can be successfully experienced by women who embody qualities such as patience, resistance, self-denial and constancy.
Anna, what kind of bond do you have with the girls? Over the years I’ve created a relationship of trust and collaboration: they tell me their projects, dreams, ambitions. I do my best to make them become real, through a technical support aimed at the needs of each of them and tailored to the competitions or challenges they want to face. As also happens with other ambassadors of our brand, some products are born from a mutual collaboration: we design them together, according to their needs, and gradually perfect them once tested. But this collab is not only about clothes and gears. Thanks to Ferrino Women Team I get involved in Tor des Geants and - although virtually - I run alongside them. After several years of partnership, I feel part of the team! Where did the collab with TOR come from and then evolve? The sponsorship of the world's toughest ultra trail has started since the first edition, with a very important technical and logistic collaboration. In fact, Ferrino supplies Tor des Geants with technical gears as camp beds and tents for all athletes along the way; bivouacs are set up at high altitude in the most difficult and inhospitable parts of
Even the gesture of friendship towards Jamie Aarons tells the spirit of the project, crossing the finish line hand in hand with her opponent is a great gesture of female fair-play that Scilla and Jamie, head to head until the last moment, decided to perform together spontaneously.

Elisa "Sottobosco" De Zotti Liv Bike Team Her dad, an alpine trooper, used to take her hiking in the woods, on high mountain trails, between via ferratas and glaciers, and Elisa loved it! Growing up, everything was amplified and took shape. ning I’ve been very happy to collaborate with this project, to see it growing and developing with always new projects as close as possible to the women’s world. This brand believes in its girls; it allows us to test the products and improve them. Then there is the part of the events shared with the other girls and new realities to discover. This was the great magic and strength of the team, putting together different experiences and backgrounds can only give life to a huge source of creativity.
Hi Elisa, tell me something about you. I was born in 1984, in the province of Treviso. I grew up surrounded by nature, animals, vegetables and two great parents. I attended a kindergarten run by nuns and then, growing up with my big brother, Mtv and Cipress Hill, I found my way. My dad, an alpine trooper, used to take me hiking in the woods, on high mountain trails, between via ferratas and glaciers. I really loved it! Later on, everything was amplified and took shape, the same that changes according to every seasons.
What kind of Liv bike did you choose? This year I’ve tested a great variety of bikes: from the e-bike to the gravel one, but my favourite remains the “Hail Advanced”, that’s my bike, a true MTB. Lightweight but extremely stable. The trails where I usually ride are steep and hard and you have to create your own flow! A clean and smooth ride always pays off, but when needed, the geometry of this Liv gives you a great self-confidence.
What are your passions? I’ve got many. From the non sport related ones such as food, movies, music to the wide spaces, maybe what I love the most. One of my hidden dreams is to skydive and I hope I will be able to do that later this year. My other biggest passions are skiing with no rush and just some friends, my skins and my beloved dogs. But as soon as the snow melts I go back to my mountain bike.
Future projects? Projects are fundamental for the future. A few years ago, I created with my boyfriend Sottobosco, our brand. We don’t want to define it, because it’s something that constantly changes shapes. It was born as a metaphor to describe our environment, I love to see people puzzled by it. We’re basically creatives, our office is a Fiat Doblò with a suitcase full of ideas. We started our outdoor life fifteen years ago, just after high school. Our works go from graphic design to video editing and other different forms of advertising.
How much does outdoor life affect a person's creativity? A lot! That’s why I try to live in contact with it as much as I can. Our body and our eyes are not used to the natural world anymore, we lost some “wild” inner part. The lights, the real one, are new to us. You can learn a lot from nature. The authenticity is there, between blue and golden hours. In the upcoming years, everything we could create will be based on eco-sustainability, we need to know which direction to take. For my work I look for inspiration in nature, where I find the real raw, the true influences. We depend on nature, and from there we must start again if we want to build something new and sustainable.
“You don’t need a lot, you just have to start doing something”, with this sentence I hope to motivate some lazy people to put aside the car and start walking or cycling. Something has changed during the last years. I see more and more girls on the mountains, on the skins in winter, on a bike in the summer. We’re starting to realize how beautiful life, nature and our Italy are. Go out, climb, put something on when it rains and let the snowflakes fall on your tongue.
You’re in the Giant’s Liv Team. Everything started three years ago. I immediately fell in love with Liv’s philosophy that states that a woman doesn’t have to be a marketing object, but a real person. Since the begin-

Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner Reusch Athlete BY DENIS PICCOLO
In order to exactly meet the requirements of professional and passionate mountaineers Reusch collaborates with professional and experienced athletes, who absolutely know what they are talking about. Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner is definitely one of those. The Austrian became the second woman to climb all fourteen eight-thousanders and the first woman to do so without the use of supplementary oxygen or high altitude porters. As one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most experienced and renowned female mountaineers, the whole range of Reusch mountaineering gloves benefit from Gerlindeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wide experience!

What or who made you become a professional alpinist and what keeps fascinating you in mountaineering? After my ascent of Nanga Parbat in 2003 I received first inquiries for media coverage and presentations. During that time I put more and more effort into making mountaineering the centre of my life. Also Ralf, my later husband, supported me on my way to become a professional mountaineer and so beginning in 2004 I tried to make a living exclusively from mountaineering. For me the fascination for mountaineering arises from this wonderful mixture between strong nature experiences, magnificent views up and down the mountains and challenging, adventurous expeditions. What do you consider the most challenging part in alpinism? Nature gave us a great responsibility for our health and our survival. I see it as the most challenging and most important part in alpinism to retain this given health and to safely make it back to the base camp after each ascent.
tributes such as warmth, top-quality and durability. I’m really happy about the good and intense collaboration with Reusch. Mountaineering gloves: They could always be a bit warmer, a little lighter but still with the right grip. It is a real challenge to find ideal solutions. I’m looking forward to work on this project together with Reusch.
How do you keep up or even improve your skills? My early decision to focus exclusively on mountaineering and of course also the support from my sponsors such as Reusch allow me to put all my efforts and concentration into my daily training. Besides my extensive and diverse training at home I can always go on rock-, ice- or skitours in the Alps.
You have a huge experience. There is almost nothing you haven’t done. Anyway, where are your limits? Most of all limits are in our heads. As long as we are driven by our dreams, we can push all the limits. From a certain age on it’s taking more time to push them, but the dreams still remain and give us the power we need.
As a professional mountaineer it is of utmost importance to constantly keep yourself updated and your body in peak form. What are you doing for your mental and physical fitness? Both, the physical training as well as the mental preparation is of utmost importance. I especially train my muscular endurance. In summer I mountainbike a lot, I also do mountain running or rock climbing. In winter I focus on ski touring, cross country skiing or ice climbing. As important as the training is the regeneration. I do not have a strict training schedule. I rather listen to my body that tells me exactly when and what to train. Meditation is my daily companion. I meditate every day for around 15-20 minutes. Whenever I have to make decisions, I listen to my intuition a lot. This is something, everybody can learn! In order to do so, I totally switch of my brain, connect with my inner self and concentrate on it. Total silence makes it possible to find my way. I absolutely trust in that.
Is there any difference between men and women approaching the peak of a mountain? Men sometimes look more on numbers and achievements. At times they forget to feel the power and the beauty of the mountains. For me mountaineering has in some parts always been about inhaling the beauty of the creation, connecting with the mountain and the nature and through this freeing my mind for an ascent. What do you think about the new Reusch Mountaineering glove line? I believe that through this close cooperation we can achieve awesome results and produce a great line which will satisfy all the different demands of the various mountaineering disciplines. There are some small details which can be optimized by giving feedback and collaborating intensely. By now I think that in many parts we are already close to the optimum.
What comes to your mind if we say following words: Nature: We have to treat it with utmost respect and caution. Out in the free nature of the mountains is where I experience the most impressive and beautiful moments. Mountains: They are the centre of my life. Mountains give me shelter, peace and tranquillity. They are the place where I have spent some of the most intense hours and days of my life. Reusch: Back in the days as a young ski racer, I’ve always dreamed of wearing a pair of Reusch gloves. They have always been – and are still today – the gloves I bring together with at-
What are your personal requirements on a good functional glove? For each particular use it should ensure a maximum of warmth, comfort, perfect fit and grip. It should as well be durable, well-produced and affordable. Depending on the field in which I use the glove, it can also be important to have different layers which can be dried separately.

Arianna Tricomi When you feel that a change is necessary, you must be willing to change, follow your instinct and courageously let yourself go. This is what Arianna Tricomi, Free Ride World Tour champion for the second year in a row, has done throughout her life. Tell me southing about you. Honestly, I'm still getting to know myself, but I grew up in Corvara in Badia in the Dolomites surrounded by nature and beautiful people. I have been skiing my whole life and I still enjoy it as if it were the first day. More or less five years ago I moved to Austria where I graduated in physiotherapy and I currently live there. When was your passion for the mountain born? My passion was born in a very natural way, transmitted by my mother who is a passionate skier. She was in the World Cup and took part in the Olympics in the downhill discipline. My mom introduced me to every aspect of skiing and the mountains and has always left me free to find my way. What is your evolution as a skier? I started skiing with my mother when I was 3. At 6 I started telemark and alpine skiing competitions. I competed for ten years with good results but that world was becoming too strict for me, so after a few years I found the courage to stop. I got into slopestyle-freestyle, a discipline that has always fascinated me. Those years have been very funny and I had some unbelievable failures too but I laughed a lot. With the arrival of the FIS, everything again lost its charm and freedom. I left again and spent a rather dark period of my life because I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do and I felt lost. So I decided to study physiotherapy in Austria and enrolled in freeride competitions with the excuse of having some days off my classes; in the end, within two years I found myself on the Freeride World Tour circuit. Between the various skiing disciplines, what of freeriding attracts you the most? I am very fascinated by the fact that everyone is free to be an artist and that everyone has the opportunity to draw their own line coming down from a mountain, and there is no beautiful or ugly, there are simply different styles and different interpretations. How did you feel when you won for the second year in a row? It was exciting arriving at the finish line and knowing that I had made a good line. I arrived at the bottom and I saw Elisabeth in the first position, which made me very happy because coming back from Andorra together

we had "dreamed" that she would win at Verbier and that I would get second place winning the titleâ&#x20AC;Ś And so it was! It is strange when you realize that you are a world champion because it is such an abstract thing that it always takes you some days to really understand it. It was wonderful and we started celebrating from 10 am. What do you think when you're facing a descent in the race? I don't think about anything and that's the good thing. From the moment I leave the start line there is no more room to think, we live only in the moment and it is a very intense, beautiful feeling that makes you feel alive. What would you like to say to all the girls who take you and follow you as a model? Just have fun because it is the most important thing. Embrace everything of the mountains and of skiing/snowboarding, go on the slope, in the park and when conditions allow it, venture a little further, but the important thing is to always be patient and wait for the right moment, which will surely come. We must respect the mountain thoroughly because unfortunately she does not forgive and remains the undisputed queen. Don't be ashamed, try, fall and get up but always with a smile! Do you have other passions during your free time? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got many. I started enjoying cycling (enduro) a few years ago and at the moment it is one of my greatest passions. I walk a lot in the mountains, sometimes I go climbing and then surfing when I have time. I also like music a lot, I love animals, traveling and eating well. What do you think about social media? I think it's a very delicate subject. If I could, I would use them less, it's a world so fake and I think it makes people sad because you always have the impression of being in the wrong place at the wrong time and that other people have a better day than yours. We must maintain a correct distance and not forget about the REAL life. Tell me southing about you nobody knows! For many years when I was little I wanted to become a marine biologist and I wanted to live with fish in the ocean. The Little Mermaid was my favorite cartoon.

Nailé Meignan: Yes, she can. In order to interview Nailé, I had to speak first with her dad. Yes, because Nailé is only 15 years old and has a promising career as pro climber in front of her. I left on a Saturday morning passing through pastures and villages of the Bauges massif, between Annecy and Chambéry, in the French Alps, to reach the Meignan family's house, where "the little girl" lives. I wasn't sure what to expect, and the interview turned out to be a nice chat with a girl with blonde curls who welcomed me smiling in the backyard, between one cat and another, and started answering my questions.
Nailé, let’s introduce yourself. My name is Nailé Meignan, I'm 15, I was born on December 18th, 2003 in Chambéry, and I've always lived here. Years before my whole family used to live even more in the heart of mountains, but we decided to get a little closer to the town to be more comfortable, especially with training sessions. We are five brothers: two brothers and two sisters older than me, so I am the youngest. Mum was a judo champion and dad is a mountain guide. Did you remember your first climbing experiences? We all have been climbing since we were little. My family always went climbing during the holidays or on the weekends. During the summer we used to travel in a van for two months to go climbing in Spain, Greece, or here in France. When did you start to compete? I started very early, with small competitions that were held here in Chambery: for example the Petit Duc, which was also fun because it was a team competition, we were children and all those races included climbing, lead and speed but also some routes to do or jumps. I was 8 years old. Then I started taking part in the Coupe de France, and I noticed from race to race that I was doing pretty well. I used to won sometimes and I have been in the Equipe de France for two years. She makes me smile as she tells about her young career, no doubt remarkable, with the ease of someone doing something so naturally. It seems normal for Nailé to be this good. Just to let you know, the girl at 9 did her first 7c +. At 12, an 8c. Twice winner of the European Youth Boulder Championships in 2017 and 2018, and the same year she was second at the Youth World Cup, in the Boulder category.
I believe that the best moments are when I’m with my friends climbing, when we laugh together and we have fun.
The story actually changed a bit when I entered the Minimes category (13-15 years ed) where you have access to international competitions. Now I have moved to the Cadets category (16-17) and I can participate into senior championships.
52
Nailé’s first footsteps among older guys were quite convinced. Precisely last March, her first time at the French Boulder Championships, the young lady earned no less than a second place. Yet now here we are, talking quietly about her busy fifteen years old days. As for the school, Nailé is attending a special school for students who, like her, have parallel activities, like sports, dance, or music. Three half-days a week are free to train, but also to go out with classmates. The great thing is that my classmates all have thing to do beyond school, just like me, so we understand each other because we have the same lifestyle. When we go out, we don't talk so much about sports... we go downtown, we eat something, we go to the cinema. My favorite movie? Inception. And as for music... I like the techno music!
What is the best point of connection between your life as a fifteen years old girl and a high-level athlete? I believe that the best moments are when I’m with my friends climbing, when we laugh together and we have fun. When there is no pressure. This makes me feel good. But feeling satisfied for a good training also makes me feel good. Because I know I've done my best. I decide to leave her like this, thinking about the best moments of a life that is certainly full of sacrifices but that, after all, are not so important when you’re following your passion, you're young and you can live everything in a light way.. and in climbing lightweight can help!
What is the general atmosphere during competitions? Competitions have several different moments: sitting there waiting for my turn is very different compared to the previous days. But the day before a race there is no competition. We have fun all together and get to know people from abroad. For example, there’s this Austrian girl, Laura Ammer, I meet every time and I am very happy about it. At the beginning, I was a bit afraid but the general atmosphere is great. And in addition, it gives me the opportunity to travel and visit new places: Italy, Austria, but also China, Japan, Russia... What places would you like to visit, beyond competitions? I'd like to go to Flatanger, Norway... and then to Rocklands, South Africa. These places attract me a lot since everyone always talks about them now I want to go there too. What will be the most important upcoming competitions for you? The Youth World Cup is certainly the hardest, because the level is really high and it is difficult to compete. Then it's in August, which means training all summer, and in the summer you would feel like to stay with your friends and go to the lake, rather than training... and then when you can finally rest in September, school starts again, so is a bit boring... but that's okay, it's part of the game!

Sierra Blair Coyle meets Iceland rocks BY SIERRA BLAIR COYLE
After the 2015 Bouldering World Cup season I decided to take a trip to somewhere new, somewhere I had never been before: Iceland. I only spent five days during that travel but I definitely left a part of my soul and heart there and I knew I had to go back someday to experience the outdoor climbing that the island had to offer and that I had missed my first time there.

A
lmost three years later, in June 2018, I went back in that amazing country. It was time to experience more of the magic that makes that land so special. My itinerary was slightly different this time and that helped me fall in love even more with this breathtaking country. Our accommodation in Höfn, a tiny eastern town of 2,000 people near the climbing areas of Vestrahorn and Hnappavellir, was a small cabin on an isolated farm where we immediately felt at home thanks to Icelanders’ great hospitality. Our first destination was the breathtaking Vestrahorn. Set on the seaside, fields of boulders lay below the larger mountains where the area takes its name from. Waves crash against the rocks and wind whips delicately or violently depending on the weather of the day. The rock is sharp and unforgiving, much like the surrounding conditions when they are at their worst. But the climbing there has been incredible. It is an amazing country that has a lot to offer. Our second day in the land of ice was a rest day, it was too windy to climb. In the evening the wind cleared to make way for heavy rain. Despite the bad weather conditions we still wanted to try and get at least some bouldering in, so we drove to Fallsjökull (outlet glacier of Vatnajökull). That turned out to be one of our best ideas so far because we were tremendously rewarded by the midnight sun and a soft pink and orange sky that was set beautifully behind a small glacier. The wind slightly calmed down the following day so we decided to make the trip back to Vestrahorn again and we managed to work on some good boulders and enjoyed a beautiful day out in nature. The next days we tried to find new places. We visited Hnappavellir, a climbing and bouldering area, an amazing band of rock very different from Vestrahorn. We loved that magic place with the sea in the distance where you can see sheep everywhere. Unfortunately the next day it rained again. Conditions looked grim, but we waited until the rain stopped and eventually found the time for a quick afternoon session. This was only a piece of my trip to Iceland because after that we spent a few days sightseeing and climbing at Klifurhúsið (the gym in Reykjavik) and in some other spots. That island has truly become my favorite place in the world for so many reasons. From the climbing to the landscapes to the incredible people, a part of my heart will forever be there.

Nina Caprez Raised in Switzerland, in a home between the mountains, surrounded by nature and several farms, she started climbing when she was 17. Before that, around 13, she just had fun hiking around, looking for her true passion. Climbing.
What’s your relationship with climbing? That’s the longest and the most stable relationship I’ve ever had in my life. I’m very involved. That doesn’t mean that I’m only a climber, but it represents my soul, my dream, my fear, my limits, my battle, my flow and the unknown. Is there one particular female climber that motivated or inspired you? I don’t do gender differentiation. I’m inspired by those who fully live their biggest passion. It’s not easy to explain to a “normal” person how do you feel living a climbing life: they would try to make you change your mind. After all, I think it’s just a matter of personal balance, but I have to say that I feel closer to radical people, people who are emotionally true instead of the “perfect idols” What do you think about this female movement growing around climbing? That’s awesome, it doesn’t count what sports is about. I think that the female gender always adds something. In our case, I reckon we instil kindness and softness to this sport. Is there female competition in this sport? Women sometimes claim to be much stronger that they really are, physically and mentally. I always try to encourage girls to climb and be themselves. When someone is satisfied and incited to be what she really is, then she’s able to prove it in climbing, that’s the most beautiful thing to me.
Other passions? My true passion is climbing, but I also love to work with my own hands, creating different things. It could go from tile the kitchen to bake a cake or make fruit jam, plant some greens in my garden or pick up flowers. Long story short: I love beauty, in its multiple form, it can be found in objects, people or in the act of creation. Can you tell us about your last expedition? Who were you with and how do you choose your climbing partner? If we can call my trip to the big walls in Yosemite an expedition, that was my last. I tried to climb The Nose with Lynn Hill. For every route I’d like to climb, I always try to think who would be the perfect partner to do that. I ask myself: how he/she is going to react to different situations? Has he/she the right skills? Will he/she be good to work as a team? This are crucial things to know, but in fact, it can happen very often that a relationship can grow spontaneously. You can plan, think and try to figure out how it’s going to be, but there are so many factors that you simply can’t predict and in that case you’ll have to possess the ability to fully live in the present moment and try to have a positive mind. There’s a lot of talking about sustainability and to be more “green”. It’s a tricky topic. We are sensitive in different ways and we all have different things we care about. For example, it hurts me to
58
see a piece of glass in the mixed waste, but take a flight to Yosemite doesn’t bother me. What’s important to me is that we have to act spontaneously without being judged. We have to use our common sense, but without being annoying. Some advice on how to behave at the crag? If you’re able to respect yourself, you’ll have the same inclination towards other people. This would make your climbing day awesome!

Cal Major BY GIULIA BOCCOLA PHOTO JAMES APPLETON
After only a few minutes of conversation with Cal, I felt great admiration. Because of her love for the ocean, she is trying hard to move people awareness about the problem of pollution and plastics and to make everyone understand that if we join and act together, a change is not a utopia.

Tell us something about you.
Hi! I’m a veterinarian, a surfer and an ocean advocate. I grew up on the North-West side of the UK, I attended Edinburgh University and now I live in Devon, SouthWest, just above the sea. The ocean has been my passion and my life for a very long time, after I fell in love with the submarine world while I was scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef when I was eighteen.
You’re known as an eco-warrior, tell us about your Paddle Against Plastic project.
I created it following the need to share a positive message about plastic pollution. I've always seen so much pollution on the beaches that I love after every surf session or every walk on the seashore. I felt bad hearing stories of animals trapped in plastic, or starving to death after they ingested it. I did my first expedition alone on a stand up paddle, along the Cornwall coastline, to focus on the plastic problem in those places and also to inspire people to find solution they could be proud of. I tried to encourage people to use more rechargeable water bottles instead of those made in plastic that take 450 years to decompose.
And what about your epic journey along the Cornwall coast?
It took me 1000 miles and 59 days, from Land’s End to John O’Groats, all along the coastline. I finally took up the challenge in 2018, after thinking about it for a long time. Paddling 1000 miles all along the UK. This was already been done with a lot of different means of transportation, but never on a sup! Once again I wanted to help people to take part in finding a solution about plastic pollution, but especially with this expedition I tried to highlight all the amazing actions that take place all around the UK thanks to communities, companies and individuals who want to solve the problem. I used my expedition as a way to inspire further changes. Just before my departure I’ve also organized a fundraising for two charity associations for mental health- Vetlife and The Samaritans - to honour a dear friend of mine that has lost his battle against depression. I was hoping to instils in people the idea that spending time in the outdoors can be very good for our mental health and that finding a connection with nature can inspire us to protect it. This expedition was the hardest I’ve ever done, I was paddling from 8 to 12 hours a day, covering an average of 30 miles per day. The longest day was I had was when I paddled 16 hours and traveled for 64 miles. It was both a physical and a psychological challenge. After my previous expeditions at the sea I have developed a greatest respect for the ocean and mother nature’s power, and I’ve been very cautious with winds and tides. On a sup you’re very vulnerable to the weather conditions and I spent a lot of time battling with the sea, alone. I’ve also loved the time spent on the ocean, that’s the place where I heal myself and feel alive, a place so full of wonders, peace and wildlife. I was in my element. I paddled along with dolphins and whales, booby were diving around me and I was surrounded by puffins. I’ve been dazzled by the fact that we need a deep connection with nature to find the instinct to protect it, that’s why there are so many sea communities that put their efforts together to avoid plastic on their beloved beaches.
You’ve also circumnavigated the Isle of Skye alone on sup.
In 2017 I circumnavigated the Isle of Skye, off the west coast of Scotland. I was completely alone for 12 days and I learned how important the connection with nature was to my body and mind. I enjoyed immersing myself in that environment and paying attention to everything, seeing things I I’ve never noticed before. I found a lot of plastic on those remote beaches that are not very accessible by land. On a beach I came across a beautiful cow, chewing on a fishing net. She had swallowed a part of it, and was standing in front of me for 30 minutes with a net hanging from her mouth, salivating a lot. I was not able to get close
63
64
enough to help her and as a vet I felt very bad to see an animal in danger without being able to help. Eventually she was able to regurgitate the net but there was the rest of his herd and a flock of sheep near that beach full of garbage and suddenly I was aware on how much plastic we have around, and its power to destroy life.
You’ve been to Maldives following Olive Ridley’s project, what can you say about this experience?
This year I was really lucky to spend almost a month in the Maldives. The first week I was aboard a research vessel with scientists and veterinarians from the Olive Ridley project, who monitor coral reefs for tarot populations. In the Maldives, even if the common method used for fishing are the angle or a pole, finding turtles in fishing nets is a very common event. The Olive Ridley Project is a wonderful charitable organization created to fight this problem, through physical rescue and the rehabilitation of tangled turtles that have often suffered mortal wounds, removal of nets, and through education and awareness. I was there also to lead a 100 kilometres expedition around Baa atoll on a sup with three amazing women as my teammates: a British and two Maldivians. We had beach cleanups with local communities, talked to schools and resorts highlighting what positive actions were taken to inspire further changes within the country. We found turtles caught in plastic, saw their fins removed because of the great damage, we saw microplastics floating on feeder canal for stingrays, reefs bleached by the overheating sea, the ocean’s acidification and plastic bottles filling harbours and beaches on the nearer islands. It was so difficult to stay positive. On the other hand we also visited islands that were doing their best to fight this problem, we had some brilliant and promising conversations with the Environment Minister whose plan is to make Maldives carbon neutral and free from plastic bottles in the near future. The country is well aware of its vulnerability to human actions, it’s the lowest country above sea level (2,5m), and it will be the first to suffer in case of sea level rise. They’re doing all they can to minimize the impact on our planet. But we need a global action to save this country, its amazing wildlife and the damaged ecosystem. Fishing nets come from far away from Sri Lanka and India and carbon emissions around the world are causing acidification and ocean warming that is killing coral reefs. We must all take action before it is too late.
What should we do to be more responsible towards the oceans?
First of all we should understand how much the oceans are important in our lives. Not only surfers and people who spend time in the oceans benefit from them; oceans produce more than half of the oxygen we breath. Ecosystem and life itself require protection not only because they’re beautiful or fascinating to see, but because they make life on earth possible. I think that as a human race we are increasingly detached from the natural world. Taking back this connection is fundamental to us, wether with the oceans, the mountains, a river or a canal near our home, it’s the first step to understand how this is crucial for the health of our body and mind, and to cultivate the willing to protect it.
What should we avoid?
Start taking note of the disposable plastic we use in everyday life and reduce it where possible. Use a reusable water bottle and drink tap water as much as possible. We’ve got to try and see where it takes.
Have you planned new adventures to spread your message?
Sure! This month I’ll go paddling on river Tay, Scotland’s longest river, from it spring to the sea. Further this year I’ll go on a tour in the UK with my movie about the Land’s End to John O’Groats expedition, and I’ll retrace my steps but this time on a mountain bike.

I've been to the end of the world BY CA R LOT TA M O N TA N E R A PHOTO FRANCESCA GRANA
T H E S I L E N C E O F PATAG O N I A H A S F I L L E D E V E R Y PA R T O F M Y H E A R T. Tierra del Fuego is the southernmost region of the world and I have always looked at it with a sort of wonder. The idea that traveling south you can first encounter the torrid heat of the equator and the humid of the tropics and then, going all the way down, you can find yourself in the middle of the largest glaciers in the world, is an idea that drives me crazy. A place inhabited by boundless colonies of penguins, sea lions and solitary human beings, a place that, almost ironically, carries in its name the hottest thing that exists, fire.
the most hidden faces, Francesca. She is the photographer, I just tell stories. And off we went.
Ushuaia I land in Ushuaia at night, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dark outside. I get off the plane and breathe the southern air. Ushuaia remains silent at night. Tourists tremble in the hotels from the cold and inhabitants are either sailing through the sea fishing or sleeping the few hours that separate them from the dawn. The shadows wrap mountains covered in white and dark and thick woods, the same one that, on the day of the race, will be almost hidden by the snow falling incessantly. In our free time we wander through the two only streets of the city, parallel and almost identical except one is along the sea. A line of tin houses, discordant neon lights and broke cars witness the slow days of the people of this land. The colors are more vivid thanks to the extremely I feel like clear sky, but the air you breath the Tierra is the one of place long time forgotten, inhabited by pioneers del Fuego: and convicts. Those who smile the solitary are few, almost only the trail bearer of frozen runners who came here to run extremities and Ushuaia by UTMB, like us. We a dreamer with look for the most solitary places until we find them. Our favoria warm heart. te companions are the dogs,
When I was a child, when someone mentioned this magical land, Tierra del Fuego, I remembered the words my grandmother used to say to me: "Carlotta, you have cold hands but a warm heart". I feel like the Tierra del Fuego: the solitary bearer of frozen extremities and a dreamer with a warm heart. It is therefore easy to understand how the decision to leave for Ushuaia to run an ultra-trail race came to my mind without difficulty: "running to the end of the world" I read in the presentation of the Ushuaia by UTMB and immediately saw myself among forests and frozen rocks. If I had followed my usual "I travel alone" instinct I would have bought the flight ticket without letting a day go by. Instead I waited just long enough to have time to talk about it with a friend and not just any friend, the friend with whom I share the passion for unpopular details and for

wandering here free by themselves, like us. Every half an hour a thought runs through my mind, recurrent as the sound of a bell "you are at the end of the world, from Turin you came to the end of the world to run”. Francesca looks at me, almost with apprehension at my enthusiastic sigh. She heard me exclaim "beautiful!" so many times that it must sound like a refrain to her. I get excited about every downand-heel detail of this windswept sheet metal town. She takes pictures that will perhaps only be understood by people who had visited Ushuaia before. We try to trap that light, that cold air, that silence in words and shots, without perhaps succeeding. And yet we carry the trademark "Fin del Mundo" imprinted on that hidden point between our heart and brain.
In front of us, nature turns over its most hidden pages. Our companions here are animals again. The wild horses of the park look at us motionless, their eyes partially covered by manes never cut by human hands. This land is immense and from every angle the Torres seem different. From the east the teeth are heavy and imposing, from the west, at dawn, they stand out thin and very high as they want to pierce the sky. At the foot of the massif the glaciar grey ice tongue lets us fantasize about the ice mass that is the Hielo Patagonico Sur. A pair of icebergs float on the surface of the glacial lake, reflecting the peaks. The ice that breaks produces an incredible sound. A roar that starts slowly and ends up thunderous.
Chilean Patagonia
To reach Puerto Montt we take an internal flight. The Lakes Region and the Island of Chiloè, on the northern edge of Patagonia, are cut out of the fjords. Landscapes are different here. The mountains are as distant as the most obvious tourism. Our journey in search of details resumes with colors. In this region, shaken by bewildering earthquakes that have reached apocalyptic magnitude, people are simple and houses are made in Andean larch wood. The roads, with ideal slopes only for repeated ascents, are orthogonal and decorated with lopsided and magnificent facades. I have never appreciated the perfect things, what looks wrong fascinates me the most and I can not help falling in love with these wooden doors that do not stand gravity. Early in the morning the light is unbelievable and it rises with force between the smoke of the wood-burning fireplaces of the houses. It always seems like to be on the dusty stage of a theater illuminated by a bull's eye that cuts a cone of light on the action. Leaving for Santiago breaks my heart. I don't know if I'm ready to face the city again. The silence of Patagonia has filled every part of my heart. When we arrive at the bus station in the city center, the magic of the Patagonian wind abandons us. We are again Carlotta and Francesca, a storyteller and a photographer, random friends coming from the running world.
Northern Patagonia and the Lakes Region
We leave Ushuaia by bus. It is 7 am and at this latitude it will be dawn in more than one hour. The bus windows are covered with condensed water. I am hungry and cold as always and I envy the driver's cup of yerba mate, resting between the gearbox and the dashboard. When the sun starts to rise we are leaving Tierra del Fuego. Expanses of nothingness and guanacos accompany our journey towards Chile. In less than 24 hours we will be at the foot of the Torres del Paine, one of my iconic dreams of all time. Torres del Paine are emblematic mountains for the tourists of this land. Three grey and pink granite teeth surrounded by endless grassland. They resemble the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, but their sizes leave no doubt that we are in the middle of Patagonia and not in the Dolomites. We arrive after almost two days of travel at the feet of these giants and I feel like a dog that’s been brought to the gardens after a week of rain. I start running without waiting for Francesca on the path perfectly cut in the green grass and I return to her every kilometer. Just like a dog. Too bad not having the dog's flair, because thanks to my greed for landscapes we get lost. The truth is that losing myself in this greatness makes me feel happy. A profound solitude that makes us free. A silence that cuts the strings that connect us to reality. Returning to our feet we skip logs without thinking, we sink into the damp mud of the wood without restraining ourselves.
We both have that tattoo, in that hidden corner between heart and brain.

Nataša Lops Over the creativity BY DENIS PICCOLO
71
Hi Nataša, tell me something about yourself. About your childhood, what you do now, where you live, who you are, a little bit of everything. My name is Nataša, I'm half Bosnian, half Dutch. I grew up in Holland near a big city, called Rotterdam. Throughout my youth I was a real city rat, as my boyfriend called me jokingly. Strolling the city in search of street art, flyers and magazines, spending hours in record shops with my dad. I loved making music and drawings. On Sundays we would go to the beach in The Hague and I would see surfers in the water, a striking sight, I started dreaming about it, that maybe I could try it one day too. In art school I finally started surfing, hiking, travelling and that eventually changed everything. I became fascinated by board sports, the oceans, mountains, everything outdoors. Tell me something about your career as an artist. I studied graphic design at the Willem de Kooning in Rotterdam. At art school I experimented a lot, I did not have a real defined style back then, but at least it was always handmade. I didn't really like technology taking over too much. I got heavily inspired by a lot of artist with roots in skateboarding, surf, punk, hip-hop and graffiti. My first job after art school was to redesign all the communication of a family owned business. This was a big and long job and during that time I started shaping my illustration style and making a lot of personal work. After 2 years at the family business, I quit and moved to Australia for a bit, where I even got more influenced by surf culture. When I came back, I got a job as graphic designer at O'Neill, that was really a dream come true, best of both world, surf and design. I met a lot of wonderful people there, like Jelle, who supported my art. And the last 2 years now I work as a designer for a small advertising agency in Amsterdam, where I'm learning prop making and animation. Where do you get your inspiration from? Being outdoors and having creative friends around me. Instagram is also wonderful to find inspiring athletes, videographers and artist within skate and surf culture and I can spend hours in magazine and bookstores. Jelle has a lot of great input as well for documentaries photographers and he has a wonderful magazine collection, he could open his own store!

You’ve got a well defined style, how did you achieved it? I think it's because of my background in graphic design. We learned to communicate the essence, simple and powerful, that's why most of the time it's just black and white line drawings. And then it depends on my mood if make things to complicated and I fill them up with patterns, dots, colours. In a purely digital world, how much is it important to stand out with handmade graphics? A lot of people say I'm insane for still drawing analogue, why don't you use the iPad or computer they say, it’s a lot faster… But I don't care, I love the analogue process, I love the smell of fresh paper and my poska pens, having fumbled up drawings across the room. Why recreate an analogue feel in the computer, if you can actually make the real deal, get your hand dirty. I also like to take my time and take it very slow haha I don't want to be in a hurry with my personal work, it's to enjoy and relax. In one of your last work you drew on photographs. Back at O'neill when Jelle and I were colleagues, Jelle always said one day we'll have an exhibition together. Jelle was always making pictures and I was always drawing, 1+1=2. Artists usually work alone. But in your works with Jelle Mul you had to collaborate with another artist. Was that something that held you back and a source of inspiration? Super fun to work with Jelle, because we like the same style and like work with humour. For the last two years, we did one exhibition a year. Jelle gives me a batch of his printed work and I can draw whatever I want directly onto the photo’s. So there is just one original piece, people can buy, and 100% of the money goes to an organization related to support outdoor and nature of their choice. How important is it to express yourself through your creativity? I can be quite shy and not a super talkative person, but with imagery making I can express myself very well and strongly. A few years ago, my dad got very ill and he died eventually. Drawing really helped me through these difficult times, it was almost like meditation. That's why my style got more detailed the last years and has some kind of pattern in it, big or small. Lots of your works are clearly connected to the outdoor world, why? After art school I had the change to travel to a lot of new countries and developed a big fascination for wild places and especially the ocean. So I guess that has been reflecting into my artworks. What does the word outdoor mean to you? I associate outdoor with wilderness or wild. I think the word 'wild' best captures the feelings and images I get in my head. Is nature so far away from art? Too me nature is art. All the incredible patterns, colours, structures, shapes of it's creatures, vegetation and landscapes. It has been master in crafting beautiful things for millions of years and I use it as my source of inspiration. What will Natasa do in the near future? I have an ever growing list of personal project I want to make and new techniques I want to try out. Whenever I tick one project off, I have added 10 new ones in the meantime haha. Hopefully this year I can find more time to do some of these projects, like making a photo book with Jelle, creating life-sized drawings, clothing patterns, stationary, creating animations for film etc.

The Forager M Y N A M E I S VA L E R I A M A R G H E R I TA M O S CA AND Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;M A FORAGER.
I clearly remember the first time I thought of putting some leaves and pine twigs in a pan. I was 9 or 10 years old and I was crouching under the balcony of the mountain house where I used to spend the summer. I had just returned from a long wandering in the nearby forest where I had looked at the very tall trunks of firs and larches soaring towards the sky. I fell in love with them and it was natural to ask myself if that vibrant plants could have the same intoxicating, intense and aromatic flavor that my nostrils captured in the air in the form of a smell and of which my chemistry collectors were inexorably attracted. So I started imagining and fantasizing, cooking for fun, and filling my pots with needles, barks, leaves and even stones.
Growing up, I have always tried in every way to match my experiences as a young harvester with my studies, first in anthropology and in cooking, and then becoming an alpine guide, dedicating myself to a continuous deepening of the foraging science and of plants for food use. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve explored many uncontaminated natural environments and collected and cataloged plants, trees, mosses, lichens, molluscs, algae and edible flowers analyzing their organoleptic and nutritional characteristics, as well as their toxicity and chemical connections with the environment until, in 2010, I decided to found the first Italian food lab where to continue these research. Still today, those tastes, not at all exotic, found in the woods as a child, remain among my favorites and I always look back with gratitude at the day when the love for the forest and its taste opened the door to a world where exploration, sport (foraging implies different sports disciplines from hiking to diving), anthropology, cultural identity, geography, botany, environmental protection, gastronomy and science come together in a reasonable, necessary, exciting and extremely current set.
A few seasons later, observing my grandmother who grew up in a very isolated valley called Val ZebrĂš, I realized that not only she did pick up some parts of the same plants but that, with more knowledge than the one I had used in my unusual recipes, she prepared syrups, medicines and, sometimes, whole dinners with her harvest. Since that day, harvesting vegetables has become part of my daily life.
74
75
point of view, just like we are doing at Wooding, can be a choice very contemporary in recovering our identity and tradition and also a vehicle for very current concepts almost â&#x20AC;&#x153;fundamentalâ&#x20AC;? such as food sustainability, cooperation and environmental protection. Wild food, if harvested through codified rules, is in fact food with zero impact on the environment and is a huge and immediately available resource. Being a forager means knowing how to consider the environment as a resource to be used but in total respect. A truly contemporary concept. And training in this sense is not only useful. Is fundamental. There are thousands of plant species, classified as edible, and as many, often similar, that are toxic and dangerous if ingested. Doing foraging without a guide or without adequate preparation is not recommended and harmful for both the environment and ourselves. Approaching foraging means first of all knowing the environment, studying ecosystems, the dynamics that move them, ethnobotany, botany, the territory and geography.
Foraging is indeed an attitude that has always belonged to the human race and to animals in general. Men were born harvesters and remained so until just over a century ago. The term nowadays identifies the action of going to collect plants or part of them, water molluscs, soil and insects suitable for human nutrition in natural areas as uncontaminated as possible. When the foraging was a common activity the knowledge about the collection was seriously contemplated thanks to a real science that studied the possibility of eating wild food in periods of famine or poverty either by choice or by necessity.
Foraging is indeed an attitude that has always belonged to the human race and to animals in general. Men were born harvesters and remained so until just over a century ago.
Until the end of the 19th century the diet of the middle or lower class was largely composed of wild food because what was cultivated (intensive agriculture did not exist back then) was little and was usually destined to the richest classes. Wild ingredients have therefore been a very important part of our cultural identity. Recovering these techniques and ingredients and continuing to catalog the ingredients of wild origin, going beyond those already used in our tradition, and cataloging new ones from a nutritional

This knowledge makes us respectful and cooperative with the environment. This job really gives me the chance to be really "connected" every day. Feeling part of the natural environment also helps me to better understand some of the dynamics that I consider fundamental for the personal growth of each of us.
tural resource and clarifies my intent to invite the reader to approach ecosystems to learn about them and consequently to respect and protect them. In this sense, foraging becomes a means, a vehicle or a pretext for teaching a conscious and very useful environmental education. It is crazy to see how the attitude of people who discover the mysteries of spontaneous harvesting changes.
It made me responsible towards real needs. In short, down to earth. Furthermore, harvesting and bringing back efforts in our existence, understanding our planetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s limits, is something very healthy today, because we are used to consider only the walls of our apartment. But our house should be out there. We should find a sense of stability, balance and well-being in the middle of a forest, on a high mountain pass, scattered in some pristine corner.
Taking courses really satisfies me, I love seeing people's participation in something new and, in most cases, I know that it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remain an isolated case. Many of them go on with foraging, some sporadically, others with more conviction, with a greater awareness. People who participate in the courses almost always tell me that their way of observing has changed. They became more present and more attentive. They live the present moment and the relationship with the environment with greater awareness.
My new book, recently published by Giunti, "Learning the art of foragingâ&#x20AC;?, before being an harvesting manual, is a guide to environmental exploration. Divided into chapters that represent different habitats, it presents the wild food available in our ecosystems as an important food and cul-
That makes me really happy. Nature teaches me something every day and has taught me to live and understand existence.

Tell us something about you. I came here when I was 8, 9 years old, and I started climbing at 15. There was a program in my school that promoted “alternative” sports, and one of them was climbing. Mine is a very traditional family, where women are raised with the idea of living always at home, I was not allowed to go out if not for school, I could play only with my sisters, so attending a climbing class was totally out of discussion. Also, we didn’t have a lot of money, we were five people and my father had to take care of all of us. But my best friend, who was a climber already, wanted me to try that discipline and she gave me the membership card to the gym as a gift. Then what happened? It was all new to me, in my Egyptian village gyms do not exist, there’s no technology. I’ve never seen a gym in my life and when I stepped inside and I saw all those colorful holds, the panels... I thought: «Whoa! So women can practice sports too!» At first, I was going to the gym only in the morning, then I found out I could use the same card also in the afternoon. And there started all the problems. My father didn’t approve, so I started sneaking out of our home just to go climbing, helped by my mother, who luckily trusted me, my sisters and my little brother. Hanging out with other people outside my family changed me, I started to realize that there were other ways to live, and my father didn’t like that. He didn’t want me to leave home, he took away my bag and I had to beg him to give me back some freedom, but it just didn't work. He was mad at me because I was different, the rebel.

The most important thing for my family was that I had to be the kind of woman they had in mind, I had to be good at cooking, taking care of the house, looking after the children. No license, no job. If I had stayed in Italy, but living according to the idea that my father had, I would now be like my sisters. It is true that they too have lived here, but they still have a more traditional mentality. But they respect and approve my life choice, as I respect theirs. They love me, and they’re happy if I'm happy. That’s why I started climbing in the gym and not on the rock, even if I like the last one better. It was much more complicated to hide going to a crag, I couldn’t make it back before my father’s return home, and I was always afraid he would find out I was gone. It was difficult, sometimes I had so much fun that I didn’t realise it was getting late. I took part in some competitions that went well and climbing became more and more important to me. In my head I was doing nothing wrong, I wasn’t doing drugs or getting drunk, and his disapproval really hurted me. The most important thing for my family was that I had to be the kind of woman they had in mind, I had to be good at cooking, taking care of the house, looking after the children. No license, no job. It must have been difficult for you to conciliate you culture with the Italian one. In which way did climbing helped you to break free from it? Climbing has made me what I am now, I had discovered things that may appear ordinary to other people, but not to me. The first time I went out to have a pizza with my friends from the gym I didn’t know how to cut it! I’ve never been out for dinner before, and in Egypt we eat with our hands! (laughs). Climbing gave me a lot of “first times”, I remember them one by one: my first pizza, the first time I wore a swimsuit, my first time on a train. In the last few years you moved to Finale Ligure. Probably one of the most famous climbing spot for Italian and European climbers, is that the reason why you decided to move there? I ended there almost by chance. I’ve turned eighteen and according to our tradition I should have go back to Egypt and go on with my life there. It was out of question for me, that’s why I decided to leave home. I had some friends in Liguria, they gave me a lot of support during that difficult period. It was hard at the beginning, I was torn, I felt like I had left my family, my culture, my religion for good. But it was my choice, and I’m proud of it.

It was an important choice for a girl so young, you proved to be strong. How did you support yourself? The truth is that I’ve never been alone, I received a lot of help from a lot of people. I ended up in a farmhouse in Feglino, owned by two friends of mine. That was my first house and my first job. I helped them with the farmhouse and in return they offered me a place to stay. Now they are my family, but I go back to Piedmont every week to visit my mother. It took me two years to settle down, I had different jobs, the usual ones, waitress, baby-sitting, receptionist in a camping... in the meanwhile I kept on climbing. Living in Finale allowed me to climb more on rock and achieve the first significant results (Radical Chic, Hyanea). You stand out thanks to your achievements both indoor and outdoor, and found yourself under the spotlight of famous brand like LaSportiva and Petzl. How do you plan to continue your athletic and professional journey? This year, after the contests season, I took a decision: I love to compete, but is the rock that I love the most and where I want to improve myself. I gain more satisfaction from climbing an overhanging 7b or 7c, because it is not my usual kind of thing. This will be a test year for me and I am grateful to those who believed in me. Thanks to the sponsorships that I have now, I have the opportunity to participate in events, meet new people with much more experience than me and therefore learn a lot. I’d like to try some multipitch route, maybe go climb at high altitudes. I’ve never done that, I think I will always be a crag person, but I would be happy to try something different. A lot of people asked me “would you like to be a professional climber?” and I said no. It’s very difficult to make a living out of climbing, but there are other solutions, like having a part-time job. Maybe in the future, if I keep getting good results. I’ve been lucky,
a lot of people helped me, some gave me gears, others gave me rides, some people hosted me and helped me finding a job. I won’t forget anyone of them and I’m grateful to each one of them, even for the most insignificant thing. To me, it meant a lot.
But at the moment I need a job! And now, after all you’ve been through, would you say you’re happy? Yes, with no doubt. I’ve been lucky, a lot of people helped me, some gave me gears, others gave me rides, some people hosted me and helped me finding a job. I won’t forget anyone of them and I’m grateful to each one of them, even for the most insignificant thing. To me, it meant a lot. There are so many things that will change and so many others I can improve, but I’m sure this is my path!

possible. I could have done all this through photography. Staying in the sports world travelling, capturing moments and emotions with my camera. Bingo. So after graduating I literally flew to San Diego, United States, leaving the legal practice that in the meanwhile I had started and my job as a tennis instructor. I attended several photography workshops and worked as an assistant for a photographer that I met at one of those workshops. I also discovered surfing and California’s beer, so I decide to stay a little longer. After coming back to Trento, I had only one goal in mind: put together my passions e make a living out of them. Photography, sports and travel.
Alice, tell me something about you. I’ve always been a creative, hyperactive person! One of my grandpa was a carpenter, the other one a painter. I’ve spent part of my childhood with them and they have been the two crucial figures in growing up and developing my interests. One of them was a real lover of life, travels and adventures. He felt the urge to express himself through painting, he wanted his works to tell a story or a state of mind. I can really relate to him, we share the same enthusiasm and that’s what I try to do with my photography. My parents loved photography too. I’ve always seen a lot of film cameras in my home and as I child I was fascinated by them.
Today I can proudly and happily say that I made it!
But the time to choose what university to attend arrived and sport was crucial to me by then. I used to play tennis and the only thing I wished for was improving as much as possible and took part in tournaments. Between a training session and another, I decided to attend a Law school.
Do you love more photography or the mountains? I would say that they are on the same level. Mountains are an excuse to go out and taking pictures, and taking pictures sometimes bring me to the mountains. It’s a two-way path!
I asked myself many times if I could make a living out of photography, and I ingenuously answered no. Law school seemed to be the obvious choice to me: near my hometown, so I could go on with my training; no mandatory attendance; not so strictly connected to a specific future profession. Two years passed by and I realized that was not my path, but I’m a not the kind of girl that leaves things half-done. So I took my degree in five years and put aside the University chapter. I wanted to try different sports, see new places, bring back home with me as much as experiences as
What kind of added value is working in a world you chose and taking pictures of what you love the most? Being a photographer is a real job, but my passion is so big that sometimes I forgot I’m working! Doing something I love gives me great satisfaction: I can manage my time and my professionalism, I’m happy with a camera in my hands. And I think that the more happy we are, the more we are pushed to improve: to stay updated, to try new things and to think that, even if there will be hard times and some tough moments, it’s always worth it.

" The better you move in that place, the more you are free to dare with points of view, without wasting precious time. Is it important to know mountains and how to move through them to shoot them? Sure, the most you know about an environment or a sport the more you’ll be able to represent it. You can caught some details that may seem unimportant to the majority of people, but not to the eyes of an expert.
Which photographers are you inspired by? I’d love the positivity in Chris Burkard’s images, Jered Gruber’s point of views and Tal Roberts’s lights and shadows game. I really like the variety in the images of Ted Hesser and Jeremy Bernard, but luckily my list is always getting longer. What I like changes over the time as well as my shooting and the post production style.
The better you move in that place, the more you are free to dare with points of view, without wasting precious time.
Outdoor photography. Just a trend? We live in a digital era when “taking a picture” is becoming easier and easier. Sometimes I wonder if someone is doing that just to post a pic on social media and not for the purest sense of the act itself, for the pleasure of photographing and being immersed into nature. Without sharing it, would it be the same? A dear friend of mine would say: “do less and share more” if you know what I mean! On the other side, for every mountains and outdoor lover the most beautiful thing, at least for me, is the experience. We love going to the mountains and experiencing new things, maybe in a place we’ve never been before, so why not taking a picture?
Tell me your last most exciting experiences. A ski touring trip in Norway, into the Lyngen Alps. Sea, snow and endless sunsets. Again, travel, sport, pictures! And what’s next? At the end of October I’ll go climbing in California with my boyfriend, he’s an alpine guide and a filmmaking enthusiast. I hope to reach a decent level on crack climbing by the end of September, if not, I hope at least to bring back home with me some beautiful pics of the place where it all began for me.

What’s your relationship with social media? I use them a lot. When I feel like I’ve spent too much time on Instagram I say to myself: “Well, it’s for work”. Maybe it’s an excuse, but I think it’s essential to look at the work of other people, searching for inspiration and trying to improve ourselves. Instagram is a fantastic place to see others’ works and passion, and to show your work as well. If used correctly it has a great potential in visibility. I love to interact with people, read the comments under my pictures and sometimes share something of my personal life. So in the end I would never go without it!
What would you say to a girl that wish to be an outdoor photographer? Try and believe in it. With passion, humbleness and dedication you can do great things. I would recommend her to start in a field that she knows well, and then try to gather experiences in as many branch of photography as possibile. You can learn something from every job, and that could have an influence on the following one. The best athletes stand out in their discipline, but thanks to their skills they can be good and well coordinated also in other sports. A photographer should be like this, being able to move in all the different situations that come up.
A lot of girls are discovering the passion for the outdoor, what do you
Are mountains democratic? Mountains are open to everyone, but they’re not for anyone.
think about it? There’s a lot to say. There’s more awareness on health, on our bodies, we put more attention in what we eat, in sports and in a healthy lifestyle. Female communities are growing, the purpose is to link women together in order to live more deeply the outdoor. Being in the mountains is beautiful and so is the physical effort, both for men or a women.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years? With a camera in my hands and some more wrinkles. I don’t know where. A camera backpack on my shoulder, a bag ready to go and a lot of enthusiasm for the experiences that will come.

When she was a child she immediately understood that growing up she would become a sportswoman. She just didn’t know in what discipline, but Tamara Lunger immediately realized two things: she fell in love with the mountains and she knows how to suffer. Her first ski tour was at 14 and for the first time she thought about climbing to the top of an eight thousander: she would succeed at 23, ten years ago, becoming the youngest woman in history on the summit of Lhotse. She also won a lot: in 2006 she was the Italian Ski Mountaineering Champion, in 2007 and 2008 she won the Pierra Menta, and always in 2008 the title of World Long Distance Champion. In 2014 she reached the summit of K2, becoming the second Italian woman in the history of mountaineering. Yours is a radical life choice, what pushes you in that direction? I love the struggle. I have always chosen the most difficult road, even as a child. I never liked the simple one. I always looked for the struggle to prove to myself that I could to do it. This is also the case with the eight thousanders: for me they are the most difficult challenges ever because it is necessary not only to be physically prepared, but also to have an excellent team and the appropriate gears, a climbing partner you get along with, and be lucky enough with the weather. There are so many different factors that allow you to reach the top. When I competed it seemed a little easier, there were not so many decisive elements. I also noticed that I missed the mountain: the competitions were just a gun shot, then you had to run as fast as you could and I rarely had time to look around. When I made my first expedition I understood what I wanted.
How do you live your time in the mountains? What does it represent for you? In the high mountains every emotion is more intense, both positive and negative moments. You know that every step you take could be the last, so you have to enjoy the moment, every one of them is extraordinary, unique. What was your most important success? The moment I decided to stop because I was in pain, last July. That decision required more strength than any I had ever taken in my life. I had a lot of expeditions going on and I didn't listen to my body, I was fighting with it: "I'll show you that my head is stronger than you!" I said because I was not in harmony with myself. I started a path of physiotherapy and punctures, my knees had been hurting for 18 years, every day, and lately my back started hurting too. At the beginning it was difficult, I had to change my diet and lifestyle, but I found a great coach, a person I've been looking for for many years, and together we worked with some doctors. I started to regain confidence in my body: I didn't think I would be able to sit on the toilet again! I hadn't done it in years, I just let myself fall and then somehow I had to get up. It was impossible to kneel in the church. I felt worse than a 90 years old lady. I wondered how I managed to climb mountains in those conditions. When there was a move I couldn't do, I had to find another solution to overcome the obstacle. It was also a challenge with my mind, but after a while I felt a sense of relief, of happiness: I knew I was on the right path. Now I am another person and I will go to the mountains differently. I hope within the end of this year to start again full time.
What is your relationship with the mountains? It is a very string bond. I look for a soul in every mountain and when I find it I immediately feel happy, or scared, or with butterflies in my stomach. It is a very special thing, similar to when you fall in love. I always try to hear what the mountain is saying to me, if it's the right time to go up or if it's better to stop. The mountain is like a man: sometimes he is angry, sometimes he feels good, some moments he loves you, then he doesn’t want you anymore. The mountain can be the most beautiful emotion of all, but also the ugliest, like love: when it hurts you it hurts a lot, but when the weather is nice, and it's not so cold, you feel like a queen. Some days there is fog, everything is dark and you are afraid. I am dependent on the mountain because it gives me the opportunity to be alone and investigate within myself. Sometimes I sit on a stone and look around for hours, asking myself questions and listening. I feel privileged because here, a thousand meters away, we often don't have the chance to stop, except through meditation.
What was your most significant defeat? Nanga, but I don't consider it as a negative experience because it allowed me to understand a lot about myself, about how my mind works, and I think I brought home much more than a peak.
97
98
During my journey, however, I realized that we must not have a reference model, every person is unique, and has his own qualities. Everyone should respect each other for the person he is, without imitating anyone. Will you try to climb the Nanga Parbat again? No, I'm at peace with this mountain. It has already given me so many emotions and I don't want to disturb it anymore.
Pobeda was a personal satisfaction because the last peak I reached was in 2014. I wanted so much to reach the top that I had to do a lot of meditation to calm myself.
What does sport mean to you? Sport has two faces: one is the competitive spirit, and I was a part of that, the other is made by the adventures that we carry out with the soul, driven by a profound motivation. When I was competing it was only a matter of time and the difference in altitude. Now I'm different, I'm ‘Tamara, the mountain girl’. We all follow a path, first we want to break the world, then we understand that we can achieve our goals also by listening to ourselves and respecting the environment. Thanks to the experiences we had we can live a more balanced life with less pressure.
Did you have some masters you learned from? What did they teach you? My idol was Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner: the first woman in the world to have climbed all 14 eight thousanders without the use of oxygen. She climbed her first eight thousander when she was 23, that’s why I also wanted to do my first eight thousander at the same age, and I did it. Obviously I also learned a lot from Simone, who has been a great teacher from whom I learned all I needed to know to organize an expedition and then be able to do it on my own. During my journey, however, I realized that we must not have a reference model, every person is unique, and has his own qualities. Everyone should respect each other for the person he is, without imitating anyone.
Are there any gender differences in the mountains? Yes. Women feel more the 'here and now’ moment, they have the ability to enjoy every step towards the top. Men focus a lot on the goal, without using the five senses altogether. Furthermore we have to suffer more than men: when we have our period and when we have to go to the bathroom is more complicated.
What are the characteristics of the Italian mountaineering culture? At base camp we are always hungry and therefore have a few things to eat. Then we always have the moka with us.
You are a reference point for many women… how do you live this responsibility? I say to women that we must not feel inferior to men, we can do the same things. In many sports we are already at almost the same level, for example in sport climbing. The limit is only in our mind because women have been the inferior gender for many years, in so many cultures. Maybe we are less strong but we have other qualities and if we believe in ourselves we can break the world, we can suffer more than men, and sometimes we can be stronger than them. Passion is fundamental, the rest will come later.
Can mountaineering and private life live together? Yes sure. But you must find a person who understands your passion and respects it. I don't know what kind of man should be, if a mountaineer or someone that takes you to another world: always talking about mountaineering gets boring! Is there an anecdote about the mountains that you want to share with us? On Nanga, at camp three, we were on a huge, flat mushroom, it was like a high terrace from which you could see all the mountains around, amazing. The weather was perfect and the full, giant moon lit up the entire mountain, which was completely frozen. I admired from the tent this wonder of nature, it has been even more incredible because I was aware of being alone, and that no one would interrupt the energy that has been created. At that moment I thought: "now I can also die because I will never be happier than this”.
Why are there still few women mountaineers? Maybe they think it is too hard for them. But if a woman really wants to achieve a goal, she will succeed. On the Pik Pobeda you had a great satisfaction ... Yes, it was a great adventure! I discovered a world I didn't know, it was very interesting to see how people lived there. The inhabitants of those lands are very busy: they go hunting, taking water from the river, they cut wood: the system is based on survival and nature. It is a bit sad to realize that in our culture it is now all simple, accessible, we no longer have to struggle almost for nothing, we have everything within reach, to be taken immediately and easily. The Pik
Next challenges? I am now focusing on healing and being able to do activities again without feeling pain. I planned a trip to Mongolia, in September for 20 days and only with a backpack to see if my body is strong enough for an expedition in winter. If that goes well, I'm ready to leave.

The energy and tenacity of these girls is what makes them unique. What they want to launch to the world is a clear message. There are no limits and everything can be achieved with patience, determination and perseverance.
P
etra, Lisa and Johanna are three young athletes from South Tyrol. They love the mountains and since childhood had the chance to spend every free day on the peaks. The mountain represents nature for them, simply by living it you have the opportunity to experience a feeling of infinite freedom. And being on the top of a peak means being isolated and surrounded by it, with a 360° view. That same peak represents for them new horizons to discover. Petra, Lisa and Johanna love the mountains. So much so that living in the mountains has become almost like a drug. There are no limits up there that can define the rules of yourself. The more time you spend walking in the woods and on the steepest climbs, the more you can learn about yourself.
She has no half measures. Projecting alpine walls, cracks to be protected or difficult climbing routes, she always give her best in sports. As a full time business woman, it is very important for her to plan in the best way possible her free time and when she is not busy organizing events you can surely find her wearing a harness and climbing shoes on the most beautiful peaks in the planet.
Returning to Seiser Alm is always a very strong emotion, thanks to its 360° panorama over one of the most enchanting Dolomite peaks in South Tyrol, where sunsets take your breath away and silence fills your soul.
Petra is a former photographer who decided to combine her greatest passions and dedicate herself 100% to outdoor mountain sports, showing her values and beauty on social media as a digital influencer. “Many people ask me why I need to go to the mountains. The mountain is a lifestyle, a school that helps you to know yourself. The goals must be reached step by step, with fatigue, with silence that is not absence of life but something that exists in itself. The mountain has taught me to value small things and not look for the superfluous.”
Lisa lives in Valle Aurina, one of the most authentic and genuine valleys in South Tyrol, surrounded by more than 80 peaks reaching three thousand meters. She is a passionate lover of the mountains too. She knows those peaks very well since she was child and spends every free minute on the mountains, trying to motivate more and more people to discover that same great passion.
The energy and tenacity of these girls is what makes them unique. What they want to launch to the world is a clear message. There are no limits and everything can be achieved with patience, determination and perseverance. This great passion is the main reason why these three girls met in Seiser Alm, the largest plateau in Europe that covers an area of about 6,000 hectares. The mountain pasture is located at the foot of the Sciliar massif at an altitude of 1,680 meters. "Returning to Seiser Alm is always a very strong emotion, thanks to its 360° panorama over one of the most enchanting Dolomite peaks in South Tyrol, where sunsets take your breath away and silence fills your soul."
Johanna is a climbing coach with an unbridled passion for the mountains and especially for climbing in all its forms.

LAST WORD «I WANT TO APOLOGIZE TO ALL THE WOMEN»
I want to apologize to all the women I have called beautiful
before I’ve called them intelligent or brave I am sorry I made it sound as though
something as simple as what you’re born with is all you have to be proud of
when you have broken mountains with your wit from now on I will say things like
you are resilient, or you are extraordinary not because I don’t think you’re beautiful but because I need you to know you are more than that

Partenze prima dell’alba. Rientri con la torcia frontale. Sentieri in ombra, nuvole e vento. Durante una giornata in montagna la temperatura può cambiare notevolmente. La Pedroc Alpha Jacket è una giacca da speed hiking che potrete tenere indosso tutto il giorno perché si adatta attivamente alle variazioni climatiche e di intensità dello sforzo, grazie alla innovativa imbottitura termoregolante Polartec® Alpha®. Questa tecnologia isola dal freddo quando serve ma è permeabile all’aria per allontanare il calore e l’umidità in eccesso, mantenendo sempre una temperatura corporea equilibrata.
