Nicolas Falquet (2020)
Katherine Choong, the first Swiss climber to complete a 9A route, decided to repeat this performance in the Bernese Alps with "Jungfrau Marathon".

La Aguja Negra
Pablo Martín (2019)
David Bautista was a young and promising Spanish climber. However, his sports career seemed to be cut short when he suffered a serious climbing accident that forced him to be in a wheelchair for a year. The aftermath of that accident led to a recognized disability of 46%. However, that was not an impediment for him and his passion to continue free high difficulty routes. In the summer of 2018, he decides to face a new challenge: free climbing El Pilar Norte de La Aguja Negra in Los Galayos (Spain), probably one of the hardest and most committed granite trad climbing routes in Spain.- 2019

Magnetic Mountains
Steve Wakeford (2017)
In October 2014, Steve Wakeford, a sports broadcast editor, fell 70 metres whilst climbing a mountain known as Les Petites Jorasses in the French Alps. It was a fall that required him to be airlifted out of the mountains suffering from a number of serious injuries and resulted in him being temporarily left in a wheelchair - he is lucky to be alive. At the start of a long journey of rehabilitation, he began to ask himself some serious questions - 'Regardless of injury or trauma, why are we drawn to the mountains in the first place? Is risk an essential part of what we do? Perhaps most importantly, why is it that I am planning to climb the same route from which I fell?'- 2017

High Spirits
Bernhard Stern (2016)
David Lama and Conrad Anker became the first expedition ever to reach the headwall of Lunag Ri, a 6907 meters high mountain located at the border of Nepal and Tibet. The Austrian-American rope team gave everything to be the very first to reach the untouched summit. But in the end, due to freezing cold temperatures and strong wind the only reasonable option was to retreat. Lama said: '...we still have our fingers. They will surely be useful on our next attempt, which we have set our sights on for next year.'Bernhard Stern, Florian Klingler
