MIKEL ZABALZA
Sunday December 14 – 12:00 Euskalduna Bilbao
Mikel Zabalza has always loved winter. He started climbing in the Pyrenees, in the Cirque de Gavarnie, where he has scaled ethereal ice routes. He has skied, travelled to the Himalayas, where he has opened new routes on giant rocks far away from the beaten paths, and advanced across the ice of Antarctica, with the wind as an ally while he pulled a sledge. Through his story, we become part of his rope team and travel to the Alps and Patagonia, to the great walls of the world, where we sleep suspended at altitudes where cold, wind and snow reign supreme: Integral de Peu Terey, Trango, Piergiorgio, Kanchenjunga, Dunagiri, Queen Maud Land, Everest and K2, the Abruzzi Spur, Gasherbrum II and IV, the Broads traverse, Nuptse, South Tower of Paiju Peak, Phurbi Chyach... and, always, the Pyrenees.
