North3 - the project
In 2018 Simon and Vittorio will climb the north faces of Ortles, Cima Grande di Lavaredo, and the Grossglockner, by fair means, with their bikes.

SINCERELY YOURS
When you stand in front of Rastentalfall, at Rein in Taufers, it’s like being at the theatre. Really: you are in a glacial cirque, closed off and symmetrical, in a valley with thirty two peaks above three thousand metres.

DREAMS AND TIME
I come from the seaside and since I was born I have only been involved in water-sports. However, when I was 23 I (re-)discovered the mountains.

THE HERITAGE OF OUR FATHERS
It is a week day at the beginning of June, there is nobody about, it makes you think there might be ghosts around.

CHILDHOOD DREAMS COME TO LIFE
My brother Bill and I always wanted to open our own route here, because this was probably the first mountain we set foot on as children.

ALASKA FLY TO FLY
Before Star Trek the last frontier was considered Alaska, not Space: endless kilometres of meadows, forests, rivers, ice, mountains and very few people.

DOLOMITI SPEED FLYING
Have you ever thought about it? Every peak in the Dolomites has been climbed. So where is the space for adventure?

WHAT WE DO HERE
Sometimes great challenges have nothing to do with higher mountains to be climbed, unknown areas to be explored, nothing to do with increasingly extreme sports....
