In October 2009, adidas athletes Alexander and Thomas Huber managed the first RP (redpoint) ascent of the »Eternal Flame« route. This route runs with an impressive line through the South Buttress of Nameless Tower (6,251m) amidst the Granite Mountains of the Trango Group in the Karakoram.

Thomas and Alexander Huber were so fortunate to have both perfect conditions on the wall as well as a perfectly timed patch of good weather, which enabled them to make the first free ascent. After they had investigated the first four pitches of the route and discovered a variation to the second pitch's pendulum, the Huber brothers had to wait a few days for better weather conditions. Within four days they managed to redpoint the 24 pitches back to back - with difficulties up to 5.13a at an altitude of 6,000 meters.

It wasn’t the first excursion the Huber Brothers successfully completed in adidas gear. In December 2008, the Huber Brothers put the adidas Outdoor products to the ultimate test when they went on an expedition to Antarctica. Even though temperatures dropped below -50 degrees Celsius during the trip, the Huber Brothers were in good hands: The lightweight, breathable adidas Outdoor product offers superior water repellency, so the body remains dry, warm and comfortable even under the most extreme conditions.
