Mountain Guide of thAosta Valley, president of Interguide Cooperative
(www.interguide.it). Doctor in chemistry, I left the nobile Pharmacy
profession to dedicate my life to the mountains, that I love in a huge
way. Mountains for me is an excuse to travel, the curiosity pushes
me all the time to new lands and new routes with new people. I consider
my clients the varied part of every work day, infact they are the
subjects that give the big value to our excursions, as easy or as
difficult as it may be, my next climb of Mont Blanc ( one of hundreds)
it will
be unique and no less important than all the others, because of the
clients. Climbing for me is the most important aspect of mountaineering,
it is a slow journey in between my own emotions, moving on vertical
land, and this makes the world bigger than we ever think. To climb
means to go very slowly, skiing and snowboarding on the contrary is
speed and a dynamic feeling. Deep powder and steep slopes, make the
perfect combination to move fast and go far in the winter, 10 times
more than the summer. The happiness that I have in going in the mountains
gives me the motivation to pass on my knowledge about them, I consider
teaching a pleasure and a must, to improve the Alpine Culture and
help improve the security of the mountaineers. 28 years of climbing
in the
mountains has produced a long list of names and grades that would give
you the idea of my standard, but they don't tell you that i have experienced
or about the people with whom I have shared those moments, this for
me is the most valuable part of my climbing. |
