The Chilean Diaries
From the Atacama Desert to the San Isidro lighthouse, our search for Field Testers takes us on an all-Chilean adventure along this over 4000 km-long country, considered to be the longest in the world. A journey centred around passion-filled, independent men and women who live and breathe nature and can truly put our jackets to the test.
“We are dedicated to spread climbing as a way to preserve these spaces.”
With the vast array of mountains and many peaks still to be conquered, the Andes truly are a rock climber’s paradise. A sport that becomes a lifestyle: when you spend endless hours in contact with nature - literally attached to the rocks - and feeling at one with the surrounding landscape, you can't help but want to preserve it, so that it can continue to fascinate generations of like-minded climbers for a long time to come.
