The trio is now complete:In August 2012 the Mammut Proteam athlete Stephan Siegrist scaled Cerro Stanhardt in alpine style over the Exocet route. He is now the first alpinist to have climbed all of the three main summits in the Cerro Torre group during the Patagonian winter.

Ataraxia/Alaska
As the first people on the planet the Ataraxia Mammut Proteam wanted to climb Mt. Marcus Baker with kitesupport and by doing so set up a world record for the longest vertical climb with kites. Being aware of the weather situation in Alaska, they planned for three weeks on the glacier to get the right weather window for this attempt. What they sure didnĀ“t know,was that this adventure should turn out to be more of a survival trip than an easy success.

Trango Tower/Pakistan
Mammut Proteam athlete David Lama headed for Pakistan with a new mountaineering objective in mind: he intends to climb the 6,251 meter peak of Trango Tower via the well-known "Eternal Flame" route! His expedition to the Karakorum mountain range is one of 150 tours in the biggest peak project in history marking Mammut's 150th anniversary.
