The Pill Outdoor Journal 75
* Free shipping on orders over €20
With or without snow, there’s always a good reason to start dreaming about your next outdoor adventure. It doesn’t take much: a glance at the mountains, a resurfacing memory, or even flipping through the pages of the new The Pill Outdoor Journal. Issue 75 is, as always, an invitation to be inspired by powerful stories, distant visions, and feats that redefine the boundaries of what we think is possible.
We start with climbing and Elias Iagnemma: in the interview, the Abruzzo climber and La Sportiva athlete talks about Exodia, a boulder problem for which he proposed the grade 9A+—the world’s first at this difficulty. The adventure changes pace but not intensity in the interview with Stefano Gregoretti, ultrarunner and explorer on the Garmin team: from his home mountains to the most remote places on Earth, his story is a journey of endurance, curiosity, and deep connection with nature.
Snow takes center stage with ski mountaineering. We chatted with Emily Harrop from the Millet team to understand what ski mountaineering’s entry into the Winter Olympics means, a theme that also comes up in the exclusive interview with athlete Giulia Compagnoni. To keep dreaming of white landscapes and deep silences, there’s Polar Echoes by Alice Linari and Lorenzo Alesi: a project that captures years of expeditions in the Far North, across Iceland, Norway, and Svalbard, experienced by sailboat and on skis.
In The Pill 75 you’ll also find an in-depth look at the Oro Bianco project: traveling from Milan to Cortina by bike and on foot, ultrarunner Filippo Canetta, owner of Wild Tee, shows the impact of the Olympics on Alpine territories, giving voice to those who live in the high mountains every day. Then there’s space for high-level mountaineering with Benjamin Védrines, who together with The North Face presents the docufilm dedicated to his speed record on K2.
There are also those renewing their story while looking to the future: we tell you about it with Simond, a French brand founded in 1860 in Chamonix that has just opened a new chapter in its long history with a new logo, new sports, and a new team of athletes.
Flight becomes a metaphor for freedom in the short film Why I Fly featuring Jean-Baptiste Chandelier, Salewa athlete and world paragliding reference. From the sky we return to earth with Into Altai, the latest film by Yannick Boissenot: shot in the Tabyn Bogd-Ola massif in Mongolia, it explores vast spaces and the true meaning of traveling together, slowly, cultivating human relationships.
Among interviews, product tests, and the latest news, in the new issue you’ll also find a visual story of the Italian Outdoor & Running Festival FW25, which was an edition all about energy, passion, and the desire to share.

I've been following The Pill for a couple of years now; I found the copies in an outdoor shop, and every time a new print issue comes out, it's a ritual for me. This is about stories, people, and the philosophy of the mountains and travel.

The paper quality and photography are insane. It makes you want to drop everything, pack your bag, and head out. The section dedicated to athlete storytelling is beautiful, portraying them first as human beings and then as athletes. Highly recommended if you're looking for true inspiration.
