“Dell’Alpinismo”: Andrea Bocchiola explores the gratuitousness of the act and ‘becoming a story’ in Majid

We had the pleasure of hosting the presentation of the book Dell’alpinismo: Dalla gratuità dell’atto al depensamento by Andrea Bocchiola, psychoanalyst of the Italian Psychoanalytic Society and member of the Italian Academic Alpine Club (CAAI) and the British Alpine Club.

Andrea, alongside Samuele Poletti, explored various themes related to mountaineering practice: what you wished to know about mountaineering but will never read in mountain magazines!

“Every climb balances between its happening and its narration; the happening itself is always about to transform into a story, and climbers move on the walls with an audience behind them waiting for the story to unfold.”
