Mountaineering is a way of life. It is educative in terms of understanding oneself and discovering one's limits, but it is also equally challenging. Once you dare to bear all these hardships and reach the summit, you may be faced with incredible sceneries depending on the season.

When you overlook endless sprawls of land and feel that you have accomplished it, you take action that moment for a new climb. Because, mountaineering is a sports that arouse the will to do more the more you achieve, it is a sports that break its own records.

Tunç Fındık is a professional mountaineer that has realized nearly 500 climbs. He is as excited as he was on the first day whenever he climbs. His eyes shine, his voice becomes jovial and he becomes more active as he talks about the mountains. In short, he becomes totally effusive. He climbs mountains instead of buying a house or a car.

He says that the mountains liberate a man and he feels much better on the mountains. "Mountains are my habitat" he says and he shapes all his dreams and plans according to summits. We met with Fındık upon his return from Nepal. We talked about the excitement and happiness he feels on the mountains and what freedom and power mean to him.
