What a grey weather we’re having this morning! We are all piled on the back of Piro's pick-up truck, stopped here for far too long. We’re waiting for someone who can open the doors of a warehouse, inside of which – as far as I’ve understood – there should be a tank of diesel fuel of dubious origin.

My winter has been incredible, full of travels and adventures in various places around the world where it’s possible to practice ice climbing.
At the beginning of January I left the USA, travelling to Canada to climb in one of the most interesting places in the world for the ice falls: the Canadian central-west area, just between Alberta and British Columbia.

It's called "The Black Baikal Race", and it's an extreme foot race on the frozen Baikal lake, in Siberia: a sporting experience beyond any limit, in a hostile place with temperatures over -30 degrees.
Our Ambassador and professional photographer Manrico Dell'Agnola was there last year, testing our brand new Tamaskan.
It took 3 years to ascend the Nuptse, 3 years of attempts before succeeding in dominating this gigantic wall near Everest and Lhotse. I remember 2015, 2016 and 2017 as truly fantastic, intense years.
