Denis Urubko - my alpinism #2

1. Main summit of an 800m peak. 2. Alpine style. 3. Small expedition. 4. New route. These four points, fixed at the start of the new millennium, are the summary of Denis Urubko's vision for the future of his alpinism. After the first episode a fortnight ago, here’s the sequel in which Urubko talks about his pride in having achieved certain goals and also the need to take stock and find the right balance between mountaineering the family.
