Alpinism is at a crossroads today. On the one hand there are the huge mountain faces, high mountains and the world of peaks, on the other the short rocky structures of the valleys, the cliffs and even the stones. The younger generation today is moving towards the latter, refusing the heroic and stormy ideology of traditional mountaineering with its suffering, storms and risk of death. A new movement has been formed, free climbing, in which the object of the climb is to enjoy oneself.
