Steve McClure onsighting "Straberries"








Strawberries" (E7 6b) is truely one of the most famous routes in Britain. Located in the lovely crag of Tremadog, it has built a huge reputation since it was first climbed by Ron Fawcett back in the 80ies. The demanding trad route was first onsighted by no other than Stefan Glowacz in 1987, an effort which only Jorg Verhoeven (in 2011) and Hansjörg Auger (2012) could achieve since then. On June 12, Steve McClure could realize the first British onsight of this legendary route - a dream came true for this outstanding climber.

Cervino 1911






Cervino 1911 (trailer)

Film: Alpinismo
Regia Mario Piacenza
Produzione Centro di fotografia alpina "Vittorio Sella" di Biella
Di estrema rarità e interesse storico. Mario Piacenza portò per primo una macchina da presa "Ambrosio" sul Cervino nel 1911.

Aconcagua 1954 – 1re dans la Face Sud (V.O. français)







Esta importantísima primera, de repercusión internacional, estuvo en manos de los franceses R.Paragot, G.Poulet, A.Dagory, L. Berardini, P.Lesseur y E.Denis; quienes después de siete duros días de escalada llegan a la cima principal a finales de febrero de 1954. El "Centinela de Piedra" eleva hacia el cielo, por el Sur, (una inmensa muralla de casi 3.000 metros de altura y 7 kilómetros de ancho).

El legendario alpinista francés Lionel Terray visitó la gran pared durante el verano austral 52/53, después de escalar el antaño mítico Fitz Roy. Consideró entonces que el impresionante muro de hielo y roca constituía un colosal problema del alpinismo. Y no se equivoco...

El aspecto de la pared Sur en conjunto es de dificultad, peligrosidad y, en ese momento, casi de inexpugnabilidad. Pero esta muy claro que los alpinistas de todos los tiempos detestan la palabra imposible.

Great Trango - a granite mile high (1999) V.O








En el verano de 1999; Alex Lowe junto con Jared Ogden y Mark Synnott, realizan el primer ascenso de la cara noroeste de la Gran Torre del Trango , en el Karakorum, Pakistán, una de las más grandes paredes del mundo.
Después de dos años de sueños e intrigas, un equipo de los mejores grandes escaladores de pared desciende sobre un remoto rincón del norte de Pakistán, en la Cordillera del Karakorum, con el fin de arrebatar el premio de un primer ascenso. Su objetivo: La pared noroeste de la Gran Torre del Trango. Esta torre de 6.286 metros tiene una joya - una cara noroeste todavía no escalada, subiendo abruptamente del Glaciar Baltoro 6.000 metros más abajo.
El equipo de tres hombres de Alex Lowe, Mark Synnott, y Jared Ogden aprenderá rápidamente que la fuerza y la técnica en la escalada no son suficientes para conquistarla y llegar a la cumbre. Aparte de los peligros objetivos de la escalada, del clima, la caída de rocas, y la mala calidad de la roca-el equipo debió de enfrentarse a peligros físicos y emocionales. Golpear la pared en más de un sentido, este equipo se une en última instancia, contra viento y marea para lograr sus sueños y reclamar el premio de Gran Trango
