Presentation of the new book "Andinism. The Seduction of Primality" with Kristaps and Kristīne Liepiņi
Exciting adventures, pristine peaks, and inspiring stories – all of this was in the air on April 14, when the presentation of the new book "Andīnism. The Seduction of Primitiveness" by climbers Kristaps and Kristīne Liepiņi took place at the Urban Outdoor store.
This book is like a window into the world of South American mountains - the way only the most dedicated nature and mountain lovers see it.
Meeting with the authors
The book launch brought together mountain adventure enthusiasts and travelers who wanted to:
-
meet the authors in person,
-
buy a book with a personal message,
-
listen to stories about climbing in the Andes.
Kristaps and Kristīne shared their impressions of the 28 peaks they had reached in South America, 15 of which exceed 6,000 meters in height . They especially highlighted the 9 highest peaks they had climbed on their own, without the support of guides or commercial expeditions. Their story captivated the audience, touching on both the physical challenges and the spiritual discoveries in the mountains.
Mountains as an inner adventure
The authors' description wasn't just about geography – it was about the inner experience that mountains provide:
-
silence and concentration at altitude,
-
self-reflection and overcoming the limits of abilities,
-
a touch of nature's primal nature that cannot be fully described in words.
The book, created over the course of nine years, is not only visually rich with photographs, but also a personal, deeply human testimony about life above the clouds.

The book can also be purchased from our online store.
