• Fabrizio Calebasso,  born in Geneva in 1986, grew up in Lugano and obtained a degree in environmental sciences and technologies from the University of Bologna. A lover of high altitude, he cut his teeth by climbing the Swiss 4000-metre summits on foot and on skis. His passion for climbing led him to bolt numerous multi-pitch routes and crags in the canton of Ticino, as well as important dry tooling routes, which he tackled through his mastery of the ice axe. For several years, he has spent his summer months in Courmayeur, where he climbs many routes on Mont Blanc, including a large number of classics. He is currently enrolled in the Swiss alpine guides training course.

• Matteo Pasquetto , born in Varese in 1994, grew up from an early age in close contact with nature, exploring the forests of Varese and the mountains of Ticino and Ossola. He developed this passion through trekking and then, from 2012 onwards, climbing and skiing. This great passion turned into a profession in 2016 when he became a high mountain guide. In 2020, together with a group of guides, instructors and friends, he founded Oltrelaverticale . He first came into contact with Mont Blanc about 5 years ago, immediately discovering it as a playground that intrigued him. Over the years, he has climbed many routes, among which he remembers with particular fondness Divine Providence and Groucho Marx, two wonderful journeys through the summits of this massif.
