AT THE FEET OF THE GIANT is the chronicle of a journey that begins with rigorous training and culminates in scaling some of the world’s most legendary mountains. The story follows the author from his early hikes, which were characterised by perseverance and hard work, to the moment when preparation gives way to adventure, surrounded by awe-inspiring landscapes and companions who provide strength and camaraderie.Every page recreates the journey’s experience: the fatigue that builds up, the overcoming of physical ailments, the precise altitudes and routes, and the thrill of progressing along challenging trails. The narrative combines technical detail with a rhythmic storytelling style that draws the reader into the author’s mountain experience, demonstrating how discipline and perseverance can transform the seemingly impossible into the attainable.More than just a travelogue, this work is like a shared path: an invitation to accompany the author on his ascent, to hear the rhythm of his breathing with each step, and to experience the mounting tension and the profound satisfaction of achieving each goal. It is not only the mountain that is conquered, but also the journey itself, with all its silences, trials and revelations.This book reveals that the true summit lies not only on the distant horizon, but also in the footprints we leave behind as we walk the path and in the transformation that occurs as we move forward. It is a testament to the idea that it is not the height we reach that defines greatness, but the depth of the experience we live through. 10
