After long and serious deliberation, the jury has announced the winners of the contest. As you can imagine, with the great quality and diversity of submissions, it was difficult to reach a final decision.

We decided to award more prizes to the "Power of Light" videos and photos that touched us, impressed us or made us laugh. Some didn't get the chance to be recognized by the public. So congratulations to all these creators who will win a TIKKA PLUS².

The new version of the GRILLON work positioning lanyard can be used in double or single modes.
It can be adapted to address different situations encountered in the field.

Check out the video, which demonstrates the new features that make the GRILLON lanyard so versatile:

The crowning moment of a ski holiday in Chamonix, the Vallée Blanche is one of the world’s most beautiful off-piste runs and the longest ski descent from a single lift (Aiguille du Midi cable car).

With this book, Chamonix mountain guide François Damilano provides the keys to this magnificent winter playground, bringing out the specific high-mountain atmosphere of each itinerary: history, advice on glacier skiing, weather, effects of altitude, equipment, etc.

Winter is basically here and it’s the time of year when people start heading off on climbing trips to warmer climes…particularly popular are those dreamy, tropical oceanside crags in Thailand, Vietnam, the Dominican Republic, etc. But before you go trusting those bolts and anchors, BEWARE!

The voting is officially closed! Below are the last round of winners - chosen from among those that submitted their photos and videos by the final January 31 deadline (each submission is open for voting for 14 days).

Social networking and mass emailing were clearly responsable in helping the winners get the most votes this week. The winners of this week's contest were able to generate a great deal of noise about their submissions and each will receive a TIKKA² PLUS headlamp.
