Dakar est mort?

The only eye candy left on TV schedule, the visual feast I crave for all year, has been cancelled. Shame… I seriously doubt the Dakar will ever return to former self.

Daytrippin into new year

These past few days were active to say the least, days when Hanibal went through a few firsts (and lived to tell the tale)…

First snow climb:
Polhograjska grmada (898m), the easy route from Topol (700m)… 1h30min roundtrip

First time above 2000m:
Brda (2009m) & Okroglež via Medvedova Konta (1410m) & Lipanca (1630m) from Goše (~1300m)… 3h20min roundtrip

First time running around in deep snow:
Slatnik (1609m) & Možic (1602m) from Soriška planina (1277m)… 1h50min roundtrip

Steep

“Without risk there is no adventure” …. “I tried to become a normal person and get a normal job. But that didn’t work.”

These are some of the quotes from Steep, a feature documentary on big mountain freeride. See the trailer @ Apple.

Now let’s wait and see how this is any different from all those movies by Teton Gravity Research, Red Bull, Drake Powderworks, Matchstick Productions and others…
