The mountains are changing. He, too. Adam Bielecki, one of the most outstanding contemporary Himalayists, returns with a new lecture promoting his second book — “Without a trace”!

The lecture, which is a multimedia show of photos and videos at the same time, is a personal and uncompromising story about how from an eight-thousand-year-old conqueror a climber is born, for whom style becomes an obsession. Climber looking for new challenges — original, technically difficult, often on pristine walls, implemented in small teams and with a minimum amount of equipment. It is a story full of passion, adrenaline and adventure.

After the lecture, you will be able to buy the book “Without a trace” and get an autograph of the Himalayan.
