Spring will arrive soon, with its colors and scents, anticipating that summer desire for escape that leads us to search for new paths towards new adventures. 

Other rhythms, other conditions, the spirit that has always pushed us to seek contact with the environment also demands a renewed synergy with Nature. 

Whoever you are, whatever you want to do, don't get caught unprepared. Face the next challenges in the best possible way and follow your instincts, rely on maximum technicality and performance without sacrificing comfort and style. 

The Montura 2023 summer collection is now available at all Montura Stores and affiliates, and on montura.it/shop 

On Montura's YouTube channel, three films supported and/or co-produced by the creative lab Montura Editing are available for free viewing, after having been presented in all the major mountain film festivals during 2022.

Montura Editing has co-produced and supported in various capacities several films, documentaries, series and TV programmes - altogether almost a hundred titles in 20 years - supporting young and promising film directors, some of whom have received international awards.

The repetition of the 'Eternal Flame' route on the Trango Nameless Tower by the Spanish climber Edu Marín, the second in just over 30 years, represents a watershed in the mountaineering world for big wall climbing, but also a great achievement for the athlete himself, who had already set his sights on this iconic route back in 2021, without reaching the summit for two pitches. Climbing routes that are over 500 m long and with difficulty levels that go beyond 8c is already difficult in itself, if it is then done from dizzying heights, such as 4,000 or 5,000 m, the difficulty increases drammatically. In the web-series "Keep It Burning", Edu tells us about his expectations and preparations for the ascent before departure, and then talks about the problems he encountered and the support he received from his father and brother, the ideal climbing partners for such an adventure. Watch the four episodes now available on our YouTube channel!

Simone Salvagnin, world champion of the Italian national paraclimbing team, FASI head of the Paraclimbing sector and Montura testimonial, is in Nepal since 25 October to climb Ganchempo (6,378 m), an absolute first ascent from the Sindhupalchok side. Accompanying him is the strong mountain guide and Montura testimonial Luca Montanari, who completed an expedition to Everest this year with Andrea Lanfri, the first multiple-amputee in the world to have climbed the highest peak on the planet. Climbing along with the Italian duo will be Nepalese Rabindra Aryal, co-founder with his wife Federica Riccadonna of the social enterprise Garima Voyage, from which this initiative, supported by Montura, takes its cue, and a team of very strong Nepalese climbers, including Sanu Sherpa, the first person in the world to have reached all 14 eight-thousanders twice, and Sanjib Gurung, President of the Mountain Guide Association of Nepal (MoGAN).

Silvo Karo, one of the greatest protagonists of the golden age of Slovenian mountaineering between the 1980s and 1990s, will receive the Piolet d'Or for Lifetime Achievement, the world's most prestigious award in mountaineering, this November in Briançon, France. 

Karo, who was born in 1960 and has been a Montura testimonial for more than 10 years, has been able to leave his mark wherever his hands touched rock, opening more than 2,000 routes from the Alps to Patagonia and the Himalayas. 'I am very proud to have received this award,' Karo tells us. But I am even happier with all the congratulatory messages I am receiving from mountaineers all over the world, because my climbs have been a great inspiration to them".

The team of Va' Sentiero are among the winners of the European Cultural Heritage / Europa Nostra Awards 2022, the most important European award in this field, celebrated on 26 September in a prestigious ceremony held in the iconic Prague Opera House.

Va' Sentiero won the Grand Prix for "Sustainability and Climate Action" thanks to their project, supported from the outset by Montura, which saw them as the protagonists of a unique, three-year-long expedition on the world's longest trail, the Sentiero Italia CAI, where they documented and promoted the territories they crossed, as well as involving more than 3,000 walkers from all over the world and many local communities. The jury described their efforts as 'a powerful and enlightening example to encourage slow tourism and sustainable commitment to natural heritage and landscape'.

REAS is Italy's leading trade fair for  the rescue, first aid and fire-fighting sectors, a reference point thanks to the presence of the sector's main production and commercial entities, to be held at the Centro Fiera Montichiari (BS), from 7 to 9 October 2022. 

Montura will present at this edition the novelties for equipment dedicated to technical work and mountain professionals, developed by the Workframe division. The stand is number A30-B29 and is located in Hall 5.

After 28 days on the mountain and the challenging temperatures, at least half of which were spent on the Snow Ledge at an altitude of 5700 m, on 21 July 2022 climber and Montura ambassador Edu Marín completed the free ascent of Eternal Flame along assisted by his father Francisco Novato and his brother Álex. This is one of the world’s most difficult routes, on the Nameless Tower (6286 m) in Pakistan. The iconic route, first climbed in 1989 by the extraordinary German team Kurt Albert, Wolfgang Güllich, Christof Stiegler and Milan Sykora, extends for 650 metres from a base altitude of 5000 m on granite, with grades of up to VI, 7b+ and A2.

The participation of Arkanoé Sailing Team by Montura in the fourth stage of the Melges 24 European Sailing Series in Riva del Garda (Tn), which took place from 22 to 24 July and was organised by Montura's partner Fraglia Vela Riva, ended with 1st place in the Corinthian grouping.

The crew led by skipper Sergio Caramèl, who presented themselves on Lake Garda with an unusual composition given the inclusion of Fabio Bignolini and Lorenzo Franceschini alongside Margherita Zanuso and Michele Meotto, overcame a complicated start to reach optimum performance on the final day, during which they overtook the Swiss of Cytrus at the top of the Corinthian classification and relegated Miles Quinton's Gill Race Team to third place.
