Climber and Mountaineer, Luca Pompele
Hi, I'm Luca Pompele, 26 years old, and I live in Milan. I currently work for Sport Specialist (a company specializing in technical mountain products) as a lab technician and salesperson in the mountaineering, climbing, and ski mountaineering departments. I love experiencing the mountains in their entirety, and in my free time, I enjoy practicing my favorite sports; in the summer, I climb, run, and travel at high altitudes (the 4000-meter peaks of the Alps), while in the winter, I enjoy ski mountaineering and ice climbing.
My favorite terrain is the large walls crossed by climbing routes and the endless wild ridges of the Alps. From an early age my father instilled in me his love for the mountains and nature by taking me around the Alpine areas (especially the Dolomites) in a camper.
So I started trekking and skiing at an early age. I soon started doing orienteering and mountain running competitions for many years until I started discovering the wilder sides of it. So I started climbing, ice climbing, mountaineering and ski mountaineering. Now I love being able to combine the speed resulting from years of racing with the technique of a rock or ice route.
For a few years now, the idea of taking another step in my life as a mountaineer and embarking on the path to becoming a mountain guide has been buzzing around in my head . We'll see!
On my Instagram page I talk about what I love to practice in the lightest , cleanest and most eco-sustainable way possible , about my adventures with friends in the mountains at home and abroad, and about the process that I hope will lead me to make the mountains my life.
I offer a stimulating and sincere profile that aims to convey the true and pure values of mountaineering. Everyone has the opportunity to live their own adventures according to their own rules, whether they're moving light and fast with minimal gear for their ridges, tackling a technical route, or simply heading into the mountains.
