Tomo Česen: a living # legend who wrote the history of world mountaineering

Slovenian alpinism is the only sport discipline in which Slovenians have been shaping the world's top for more than 40 years. Tomo Česen, born in 1959 in Kranj, is one of those who set Slovenian alpinism on a high note, as high as no one had done before at the time. In his relatively short mountaineering career, he stood on the summit for a short time, but long enough for his actions to become part of the heritage of mankind.

Tomo considers his greatest achievement to be that at an altitude of 8,300 m, alone, after he and Borut Bergant conquered the 8,505 m Jalung Kang, after Chita was taken by the Himalayas a few meters below the summit, he survived minus forty degrees night in the bivouac. So close to death, he realized how important every moment in life is.

In a short message film, Tomo shares and describes his outlook on life:

Sometimes things seem impossible. Sometimes they cannot be described in words. Sometimes you fight a battle that you even think you've lost forever. Sometimes

Tomo Česen

Slovenian mountain climber

Tomislav "Tomo" Česen (born 5 November 1959) is a Slovenian mountaineer who specializes in solo climbing ascents in the Alps and the Himalayas.

In 1986, aged 26, he reported that he had enchained the three Great north faces of the Alps, becoming the first person to do so solo in winter; although nobody witnessed his feat.^[1] Česen enjoyed a period of fame and sponsorship from his enchainment, and went on to claim a number of increasingly bolder, and in some cases, groundbreaking, solo ascents, including: No Siesta on the Grandes Jorasses, Pilier Rouge du Brouillard Direttissima on Mont Blanc, Modern Times on the south face of the Marmolada, the north face of Jannu (or Kumbhakarna), and the enormous south face of Lhotse.^[1] Many of his boldest solo ascents are now treated with skepticism in the mountaineering community,^[1] and particularly his 1990 solo ascent of Lhotse’s south face.^[2] He remains a controversial figure in climbing.^[1]

The god of horse returns to the legendary Olympus

The legend is nowadays repeatedly misused; only the rare ones would deserve it. Among them are certainly those who are born with talent and build their character with hard work. To the top. To the point where you cannot go any higher.

And such is Miroslav Cerar.

A legendary sense of truth is liberating

There is an invisible red thread of fate that connects the soulmates, says the Himalayan legend. No one can destroy this connection. Someone above us is tying a thread around the ankles of the couple, whose fate he wants to interweave. Red is the colour of attraction and desire. “In our family climbing is like breathing, so without it we simply can't exist,” say in one voice the co- creators of mountaineering surpluses, the legendary couple Štremfelj.
