April 2008. Trento Film Festival. This is what Hansjörg Auer told us about his incredible free solo climb of Via Attraverso il Pesce, more commonly referred to as The Fish Route, up the South Face of Marmolada in the Italian Dolomites. 11 years have passed since that video. Since that day in Trento Hansjörg obviously carried out many other important climbs, and we met and interviewed him on numerous other occasions. But perhaps nothing surpasses what we felt back then, while listing to this young man as told us about himself, his mountaineering and his dreams. Nothing needs adding, neither back then, nor now.
