Campanile di Val Montanaia first BASE Jump by Marco Milanese

"It is here that I began dreaming about alpinism, and it is here that my personal evolution has come a full circle. Free soloing and jumping down is for me the absolute purest style of mountaineering, a nuance in a creative art form that everyone can interpret as they wish. Where nothing is disturbed, where you go fast and return quick, where you don't need anything else except for a rucksack. Fast and clean." With these words Italian mountain guide Marco Milanese introduces his free solo - carried out in 20 minutes - of the Normal route up Campanile di Val Montana and BASE Jump off this iconic tower in the Friuli Dolomites.
