The Ariège pros are great explorers who are well known in the field: Franck d'Horizon Vertical specialized in caving, Stéphane de Vertikarst, Rodolphe Sturm, Phil Bence…. They regularly go on expeditions to the four corners of the world (Patagonia, Papua, Java, Peru…) to satisfy their passion.

But they also love to pass it on ... especially during their outings and during the explos festival, created by Phil Bence. His images are touring the world and on the front pages of PETZL, Terre sauvage, Spéléo magazine, wider mag, expé and many others ...
