Federica Mingolla among the La Sportiva total look athletes. With her, we have completed the list of climbing team athletes on which we will build our brand image. Class of ’94, she is the first Italian athlete to have climbed some of the hardest routes in Verdon and the massif of the Monte Blanc. With a degree in physical education at the University of Turin, Federica Mingolla is both a federal technician for FASI and a mountaineer, a passion that she pursues with extreme dedication alongside her sports climbing projects, with a predilection for trad in “her very own” Valle dell’Orco. She is today considered among the most versatile climbers of her generation, seen her way of climbing on such different styles: crag, boulder, multi-pitch e trad. This was demonstrated by her recent trip to the Yosemite Valley in the States, a destination that has always been considered a Mecca for climbers searching to conquer the Big Wall. Her real project for this year, however, is Greenland, she is organizing the expedition to the Tasermiut, in the Ketil Fjord, one of the wildest and most remote places in the world, where many routes can be opened. La Sportiva thus confirms its role as leader in the climbing sector continuing to help promote the climbing movement and accompanying it today in its most important developments on rock as well as indoor, as demonstrated by the recent partnership with the Italian Climbing Team in view of the Tokyo 2020 Games.

“I have been collaborating with La Sportiva for several years now – says Federica – using the more
technical models of the climbing shoe line that are well suited to my climbing styles. My future
mountaineering objectives and the many projects I am working on have pushed me to choose the
Trentino brand also for the technicality of its garments…and there is no hiding it now, as you can
see from the bright and recognisable colours. La Sportiva is a company that I have always admired
and which promotes strong ethics towards the world of climbing and the outdoors in general and
that strongly believes in its athletes, considering them an added value in the development of its
products.
