Every Skier for a Climber. Each Jizerská 50 participant will commemorate the 1970 Peru Expedition

At the 53^rd ČEZ Jizerská 50 almost 50 years will have passed since 15 Czechoslovak mountaineers perished tragically in an earthquake in Peru. All of you will commemorate the members of the 1970 Peru expedition. Every Jizerská 50 skier will carry the name of one of the tragically deceased climbers on their number bibs.

Mountaineers from the 1970 Peru Expedition were also cofounders of the Jizerská 50, whose 53^rd edition is taking place this year. We regularly remember the story, we share information about the climbers that the wider public didn’t know about. However, this time the tribute will be unique for each of you.

At the 53^rd ČEZ Jizerská 50, each one of you can honour the members of the climbing expedition individually. Each one of you will carry the name of one of the members of the 1970 Peru expedition on your bib. After the race you can take the bib home for a keepsake to remind you of the traditional race, but also to think of one of the climbers who were part of the beginnings of the Jizerská 50.
