Denis Urubko - my alpinism

Denis Urubko is one of the strongest Himalayan alpinists of all times: he climbed all 8000-meter peaks without supplementary oxygen, establishing new routes in alpine style on Broad Peak, Manaslu, Cho Oyu and Lhotse. He also made the first winter ascents of both Makalu and Gasherbrum II. Urubko's story is simply unique and in this first episode, directed by Riky Felderer and Pietro Porro, he talks about himself and his experiences up in the high mountains.
