Shy and practically hidden by their mountains they are totally in love with, they seem to be practising in solitude a philosophy rather than a sport. 38-year old Luciano de Crignis, one of the pioneers of extreme practised in solitude away from sponsors, with the intend of being a part of the environment surrounding him, an alpine guide and a ski instructor, has identified his life with the mountains. Iacopo Linussio's feats are exceptional because of the age in which he made them. When he was 85 years old he climbed the Matterhorn.
