Will Gadd (6 foto's)
Will is one of the world’s top outdoor extreme sports athletes. Participating and excelling in ice climbing, paragliding, mountaineering, rock climbing, kayaking, skiing, caving, diving – and more –and with the hook line in his bio, “Nobody ever died wishing they had spent more time behind a desk”, it is surprising that he has had time to be a writer, scriptwriter, film producer, stunt-man and videographer as well. Will is the current World Record distance holder for paragliding (263 miles) and he won every major ice climbing competition in the world in 1998 and 1999. He completed the first one-day ascent of Mt Robson in the Canadian Rockies.

Marko Prezelj (19 foto's)
Marko began mountaineering with his father at age seven. After several years he learned that some climbers could keep going where he and his father turned back, so he began looking for more experienced partners. Marko appreciates all forms of climbing. He can on-sight 7b+, and is "comfortable" at a slightly lower grade (6c+) on less-than-ideal rock in the alpine setting. He has climbed mixed routes in Scotland and made many difficult ascents, often in winter, in the Western Alps. Marko has climbed many 6000m and 7000m peaks in alpine style. High points include the main summit of Melungtse (7181m) via the east face, the virgin East summit of Yebokangal Ri (7332m), the first ascent of the north face of Gyachung Kang (7952m), and the second ascent of the Golden Pillar of Spantik (7027m). In 1991 Marko and Andrej Stremfelj, won the Piolet d'Or for their five-day alpine style ascent of a new route to the summit of Kangchenjunga South (8476m).

Børge Ousland (1 foto)
On the 23rd of March 2006, Børge Ousland and Mike Horn became the first persons to reach the North Pole during the Arctic winter. This expedition had long been regarded as impossible due to the constant darkness and the extreme cold of the winter months. Their success added a new chapter to the history of Polar exploration – and it is one of the highlights in Borge Outland’s impressive list of achievements. Børge has managed to successfully complete his expeditions as a result of thorough preparation with emphasis on training, coordination and development of equipment and properly balanced nutrition. Børge is an acclaimed author and film maker. His film Alone to the North Pole, won first prize in Dijon Adventure Film Festival. The Big White, 2001, won first prize in the Moscow Adventure Film Festival and in the Torello Mountain Film Festival).
