WIELICKI - The Lord of Winter

“I believe that mine was an entire generation who really wanted to leave their name written in the history of mountaineering.
It was also a historical paradox that it was precisely in hard times for politics and society that we were able to obtain the greatest results and incredible moments of success that allowed us to write our name in history”.

I had the great opportunity of meeting this man around 10 years ago in Argentina. He told me all his climbing stories, he told me about Jurek, about Wanda, but what surprised me the most was how down to earth and humble he is. A very sweet man who gave me honest advice and motivated me to become the best I can be. In a world full of Nims, competition and me, me and me, we need more Wieleckis. Thanks Krzysztof for inspiring me and a whole new generation!

Great Ice Warrior, one of my favourite alpinists. I love his personality, he is the man who loves people. It seems to be rare in the world of aplinists who are individualists.

Music way too loud would be better with none but great moments from a legend

Anyone who likes this video should read both "Freedom Climbers" and "Winter 8000". Mr. Wielicki, you're a legend and I doff my cap to you. How on earth do you get those gigantic balls into your underwear?
*edit* - also, 1:28, this photo of GBIV is one of the best ive ever seen
