Campionato Mondiale SkyMarathon

Describes a world-class Skymarathon event; Kima 2012 is reported in the review as a 50 km race with almost 4,000 meters of ascent and highly technical terrain (moraine, chains on passes).

A first-person, visceral report of Kima 2012: a brutal 50 km skymarathon with almost 4,000 m of ascent. The reviewer mixes irritation at human egocentrism with deep appreciation for solitude in the mountains. Detailed notes on terrain (30 km moraine), logistics (13–14 refreshment points), and safety (chains on passes). The account ends with physical cost (lost nails) and a renewed urge to keep running.
