François Damilano: “The Golden Age”
In the 80’s he was the main pioneer of the ice climbing. Damilano calls that time “The Golden Age of the Waterfalls”. He opened hundreds of routes that needed not only courage but also new techniques of climbing on such instable structures.

The Four Rules
Take a small group of people, choose a mountain higher than 8.000m, new and difficult route in alpine style and you will get a great story of high alpinism. Urubko and Samoilov chose the South West Face of Broad Peak. The result: new, 2 500meter route with difficulty: A2 and 6b to 6.600, and M6 to 7.500m, in six days of ascent and two of descent.
