Pietro del Pra held Adam for his baptism of fire with multipitch climbing and has continued to follow his career as a friend, taking part in Adam’s relentless progression to unimaginable heights. Explaining the ins and outs that led to their deep bond od friendship is no easy task. However, what is certain is that the two share a common trait: immense sensitivity and an awareness of the details that make us who we are, both in terms of rock climbing and the people that surround us. Pietro is the author of this book which was written in complete harmony with Adam. Thorough to stories of their most memorable ascents, we touch on the crucial stops that have formed the protagonist’s career, getting to know his cultural background, passions, tastes, and way of living and understanding climbing. The profound and unfaltering friendship that gave life to this book is also what makes it so valuable: recounting the life and career of someone like Adam couldn’t just be left in the hands of a journalist. “Pietro has an ability to set the scene, as if writing the script for a film, and in the process conveying the greatest of truths: what matters is the journey, the stops along the way, the failures, and the tenacity more than reaching the finishing line.“
