Slovenian alpinism is the only sport discipline in which Slovenians have been shaping the world's top for more than 40 years. Tomo Česen, born in 1959 in Kranj, is one of those who set Slovenian alpinism on a high note, as high as no one had done before at the time. In his relatively short mountaineering career, he stood on the summit for a short time, but long enough for his actions to become part of the heritage of mankind.
Tomo considers his greatest achievement to be that at an altitude of 8,300 m, alone, after he and Borut Bergant conquered the 8,505 m Jalung Kang, after Chita was taken by the Himalayas a few meters below the summit, he survived minus forty degrees night in the bivouac. So close to death, he realized how important every moment in life is.
In a short message film, Tomo shares and describes his outlook on life:
Tomo says that only individual moments from different experiences form experiences that are never big enough. Today he is enjoying life. He prefers to be carried away by the Dolomites, which he loves so much. His sparks of longing still smolder every day. Again.
It is one of the films in the campaign #NALEGENDES, which is based on the personal testimony of the legends and their inspiring life story, which is also told by the legendary Zlatorog brand. Laško is a legendary beer, and each short film is a tribute to outstanding personalities who have become legends in the eyes of people due to their achievements.
