Iker and Eneko Pou went on a road trip last summer, to visit with three godfathers of European big wall climbing, and to climb the routes in the same fashion as these creators.
The Pou brothers connected with Manolo Zanolla who set "Solo per vecchi guerrieri" in the southern Dolomites, Alex Huber who set "Panorama" in the Dolomites' famous Tre Cime, and Beat Kammerlander who set "Zahir" in the Swiss Alps.
In the end, the Pou brothers walked away with a great story to share about respecting your elders and progressing your passions. "There's always more than one way to climb a mountain, what's more important is to choose your way --and to be consistent to the end."
Check out these images from their journey, courtesy of STORY.teller COLLECTIVE, and watch the documentary of their story "Hardest of the Alps."
