VIDEO: Aventuri Alpine | Digi 24

Mihnea Prundeanu într-un interviu despre alpinism, activitatea în care concurezi cu tine însuți: ''Trendul actual este să se depășească limite tehnice și la altitudini mari sau în condiții grele.'' Alpinismul este mai mult decât un sport, este o activitate mult mai complexa care a evoluat în timp și din care s-au desprins sporturi moderne precum: escalada sportivă, bouldering, escalada pe gheață, dry tooling. Alpiniștii actuali caută ascensiuni cât mai tehnice, a căror reușită depinde de îmbinarea cu succes a acestor sporturi.

SOUPer climbing in Taghia

  Spiky crimps, technical moves, burning sun, long pitches, perfect limestone walls, strange soup and funny climbers were the essential elements of an amazing climbing trip in the heart of the Atlas Mountains, in a so called "center of the Universe", the small village of Taghia. Since my last trip to Morocco one year ago, when I was part of "Climb Again" Project, I kept alive the idea of returning to Taghia and have a real taste of the big climbing potential of the area. I also thought a comeback would be a great opportunity to give another try to [...]

Ce se ascunde in padure la Kotecnik?

Timpul trece si ”dorul de tara” ne atrage spre est. Slovenia insa a mai pastrat o destinatie pentru noi. Intre dealurile impadurite din apropierea orasulului Lasko (unde se face berea cu acelasi nume) se afla o alta mare faleza amenajata cu multe trasee pentru escalada. Dupa o zi de pauza in care ne-am transformat in turisti si am vizitat Lublijana am ajuns in zona Kotecnik si am campat la ferma Tratnik. Totul era foarte familiar, parca eram in Apuseni, pe langa o gospodarie cu animale, livezi de pomi fructiferi si utilaje de prelucrare a lemnului dar si cu gazde la [...]

Osp, Misja Pec, Crni Kal sau 3 in 1 in Slovenia

La "marginea" Sloveniei, la cativa kilometri mai la sud de orasul Trieste din Italia se afla mica asezare Osp, una dintre cele mai cunoscute zone de escalada din aceasta tara. In Osp am ajuns in ultima zi de miercuri a lunii august si in toiul noptii ne-am stabilit tabara de baza pentru urmatoarele zile in campingul Vovk. Dimineata ne-a trezit cantatul cocosului, cand am iesit din cort ne-au intampinat pisicile si cateii gazdelor noastre iar peste tot in jurul nostru domnea o atmosfera rurala foarte linistita. Satul este foarte pitoresc, casele vechi din piatra sunt frumos intretinute si decorate cu [...]

Arco, un labirint de calcar

A treia destinatie a circuitului nostru de escalada a fost orășelul italian de la poalele Dolomitilor: Arco. Arco este una dintre cele mai mari si cunoscute zone de escalada din Europa datorita sutelor de pereti de calcar de pe valea Sarca si imprejurimi. Acest lucru se datoreaza nu numai infrastructurii de esclada cu mii de trasee dar si laturii turistice ale acestei ramuri sportive. Un pic coplesiti de sumedenia de pereti din jur, primul lucru pe care l-am facut a fost sa „cotrobaim” pe ingustele stradute ale oraselului si sa ne cumparam un topo cu traseele din zona. Cei care [...]

100% Granit. Catarare in Zillertal

Am plecat din Munchen sperand ca vremea se va imbunatati si am continuat circuitul de escalada in zona alpina a Austriei. Ne-am mutat "tabara de baza" pe Valea Zillertal ca sa incercam trasee de escalada pe un tip de roca deosebit, pe granit. Luni vremea a fost ploioasa asa ca ne-am petrecut timpul cautand locuri de camping si interesandu-ne despre cele mai interesante faleze de escalada. Incantati de peisajul alpin al vaii si de stancile de granit care apareau din cand in cand pe versantii abrupti ne-am continuat drumul in amonte de micul sat Ginzling. Am gasit intr-un final o [...]

Strudel, schnitzel si escalada in Nassereith Austria

Din nou la drum! Am inceput un circuit de escalada de doua saptamani prin care incerc sa ajung in cat mai multe destinatii de escalada, sa parcurg cat mai multe trasee, cat mai variate si sa descopar specificul fiecarei zone. Am pornit la drum impreuna cu Anca iar pe parcurs ni se vor alatura si alti prieteni. Desi aveam programata ca prima zona de catarare masivul Wilder Kaiser din Austria, ploaia si vremea instabila ne-au facut sa schimbam planul. La recomandarile prietenilor nostri Stefan si Mirela care locuiesc langa Munchen am hotarat sa mergem sambata la escalada la Nassereith. Acest [...]

Climbing the big classic alpine faces – Eiger North Face

The Heckmair Route – The North Face of the Eiger  The rain was pouring down in Chamonix when we returned from the Grandes Jorasses climb. We were tired, with our feet soaked wet but felt happy. We really enjoyed drinking a beer in the middle of the rain in front of Maison de la Montagne. The next 3 days we hanged around the valley, we met with our friends, slacklined, ate pizza and enjoyed more beer. Another good weather window was approaching and we started making plans again for another climb. Too many possibilities for interesting climbs or just too [...]

Climbing the big classic alpine faces – Croz Spur Grandes Jorasses

The Croz Spur on The North Face of Grandes Jorasses This spring I managed to take another step forward in my project called "Alpine Adventures" and returned to Chamonix with the goal in mind to climb bigger routes than I usually climb in the area and something more attractive and challenging. I partnered up again with Alex Prigoana who has already become the most constant and like-minded climbing partner for "scarry, bold and unplanned style" climbing. I am pretty sure we both had the same main climbing objective in mind but neither of us would have said it out loud, [...]

Gastein Ice

I have been planning for a couple of years a short return in the winter season in the Austrian Alps. As this is a favourite destination for my skier friends, I wanted to look for far more interesting ways to spend a few days in these mountains besides skiing. In my case, this time ICE seemed to be the main attraction and in Austria there is plenty of ICE.... I chose to meet the Ice Giants. And the best place to do that is near Bad Gastein, in Anlauftal valley. I joined forces with Alex Sava (climber and photographer) and [...]

Mihnea Prundeanu. Alpinist. Geographer. IFMGA Mountain Guide.

I love the mountains and the sports. I also love to travel, to discover the beauty of nature, to meet new people and learn about different cultures. My semi-nomadic lifestyle revolves around my family and my two passions: alpinism and geography, that have blended so well together. I believe that authentic alpinism means exploration, discovery of new ways of getting to the top, minimalist, fast and clean ascents and these are the values I try to reflect in my personal projects.

Mihnea Prundeanu. IFMGA Guiding with Alpine Tours.

My passion for the mountains started when I was a child when I would often make small excursions around the city or go camping with the scouts. Since then I visited or guided expeditions in the Alps, Himalayas, Andes and other remote areas. When I am not involved in personal projects I enjoy sharing my passion for the mountains with those wishing to discover it. To get in touch, you can write at mihnea@mihneaprundeanu.com.
