He was a member of the rock and roll generation that brought energy and rhythm onto mountain faces. Commitment, boldness, enthusiasm, and an honest friendship produced the Three Musketeers: Fran\u010dek Knez, Janez Jegli\u010d, and Silvo Karo. The big walls of Fitz Roy, Cerro Torre, Torre Egger, and Bhagirathi were the milestones of his career, which included Himalayan giants as well as 8a sport climbing. He followed the trends of cutting edge alpinism and developed a strong affinity for climbing light and fast. His essay Patagonia: Terra Mystica was published in Voices from the Summit (2000). The film Cerro Torre South Face won the Best Mountaineering Film award at the 1989 Trento festival. His love for film eventually led to the Festival gorni\u0161kega filma (Mountain Film Festival), which he started in 2007. He\u2019s been a member of the French Groupe de Haute Montagne since 1991, became an honorary member of the Alpine Club from Great Britain in 2010, and was awarded the Order of Merit by Slovenia\u2019s president.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div style='height:50px' class='hr hr-invisible  '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div

The West Face of Bhagirathi III\u2026 The Devils Dihedral on Fitzroy\u2026 Both the Directissime de l\u2019Enfer and the South Face of Cerro Torre have gone down in folklore as some of the world\u2019s most treacherous walls. Indeed all are still unrepeated after over thirty years! This is no simple auto-biography: this is the story of a survivor who has brought back something precious from the other side.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><div class='avia-testimonial-meta'><div class='avia-testimonial-arrow-wrap'><div class='avia-arrow'><\/div><\/div><div class='avia-testimonial-meta-mini'><strong  class='avia-testimonial-name'    itemprop=\"name\" >Paul Pritchard, alpinist and writer<\/strong><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class ='avia-testimonial-row'><div class='avia-testimonial av_one_full flex_column no_margin avia-testimonial-row-2 avia-first-testimonialavia-last-testimonial'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" ><div class='avia-testimonial_inner'><div class='avia-testimonial-content '    itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><p>\u201cYou wonder how Silvo Karo has done so much, how he\u2019s survived, and what it was like to evolve through such incomprehensible intensity. Yet you meet him and he\u2019s quiet, calm, stoic. One evening after some casual sport climbing, our<br \/>\nconversation drifted and Silvo began telling stories from the golden age of Slovenian alpinism \u2013 a time yet to be eclipsed. I sat, rapt, as if I were listening to Moses recount the days of the tablets. This is the book we\u2019ve been waiting for, one that brings to life an era and a group of people who still evoke much-deserved awe, as told by one of the masters.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><div class='avia-testimonial-meta'><div class='avia-testimonial-arrow-wrap'><div class='avia-arrow'><\/div><\/div><div class='avia-testimonial-meta-mini'><strong  class='avia-testimonial-name'    itemprop=\"name\" >Kelly Cordes, writer and alpinist<\/strong><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class ='avia-testimonial-row'><div class='avia-testimonial av_one_full flex_column no_margin avia-testimonial-row-3 avia-first-testimonialavia-last-testimonial'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" ><div class='avia-testimonial_inner'><div class='avia-testimonial-content '    itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><p>\u201cThis long-awaited memoir from Silvo Karo is a welcome addition to the rich tradition of Slovenian climbing literature.
