Challenge Yourself In Nature and How It Was Born
It’s hard to say when it began. For sure somewhere in Tarifa. No one really remembers. What we do remember are the countless kilometers —maybe thousands over the years.
Javi Munduate is not a business partner, but a friend, a sports companion, and quietly, a source of inspiration. He always challenges himself, mostly in nature. From the Karakoram to the Himalayas, the Andes to the Atlantic, Africa to Europe — his adventures remind us that nature is neutral. A mountain is not good or bad. It just is.
Fear, vertigo, fatigue — they’re not enemies but choices in perception. In the end, it’s never you against nature. It’s you against yourself.

No matter whether Pakistan, Nepal, Burkina Faso, Togo, Chile, or Niger — or crossing the Atlantic by boat — it has always been about testing what it means to go by fair means. Like Albert F. Mummery, who believed in climbing with minimal aid and showing respect for the mountain.
That’s how one of Melou’s claims was born. It started with Challenge nature by fair means, then moved into Outdoor Challenges, and with time we found its true essence: Challenge Yourself in Nature.

In the end, you always choose how to face your goals. That choice — raw, honest, and without shortcuts — is what Javi passed down to us on tons of hours of conversations and adventures.
