They recall their first experiences in the sport, talk about the physical and psychological challenges of the practice, and share their perspectives on the mountaineering scene in Brazil.<\/p>\n<div class='embed-container'>\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GfK2S6c59fo?si=yVXG7OoOjFPvsZPi\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>In the second episode, &#8220;Climbing Chapada Diamantina,&#8221; Eliseu Frechou visits the walls of Chapada Diamantina, showing the challenges of climbing in the region and the essential equipment for safe practice.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Chapada is a new and very promising place. A great treasure for opening routes and expanding mountaineering nationwide. The destination attracts me for its immensity of untouched rock and its incredible, still little-explored spots. In this episode, we also went to Itatim, which has taller walls and offers excellent quality climbs. Together with Chapada, it ends up being a must-visit destination,&#8221; says Eliseu.<\/p>\n<div class='embed-container'>\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9RHVmFrBvpQ?si=0pU5aqhuUA4mxdNV\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Next episodes premiere this month<\/h2>\n<p>The third episode, <strong>&#8220;Exploring Antonina: Pico Paran\u00e1,&#8221;<\/strong> will be presented by Guta Barbosa, who will show the crossing and the experience of a trek in the region.<\/p>\n<p>Next, <strong>&#8220;Exploring the Marins x Itaguar\u00e9 Crossing,&#8221;<\/strong> starring Ca\u00edque Fiali, will cover the camping experience as he journeys across the peaks located on the border between S\u00e3o Paulo and Minas Gerais.<\/p>\n<p>The last two episodes will be led by Eliseu Frechou.

The climb of Dedo de Deus was first accomplished by a group of Brazilians in 1912. It was the symbol of an unreachable mountain and remains a great challenge, requiring preparation and knowledge,&#8221; he explains.<\/p>\n<p>For Eliseu, the web series presents mountain sports in an accessible and inviting way, showing that they can be practiced safely and that you don&#8217;t need to be a superhero to experience them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The series helps a lot in spreading the word about mountaineering. It does a great job of delivering quality technical information in an inspiring way, motivating people to head to the mountains the right way, using the right equipment.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/geartips.club\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/07\/eliseu-fechou-webserie-decatlhon.webp\" alt=\"Eliseu Frechou - Webs\u00e9rie Explorando as Montanhas do Brasil - Decathlon\" width=\"1024\" height=\"572\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-37119\" srcset=\"https:\/\/geartips.club\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/07\/eliseu-fechou-webserie-decatlhon.webp 1024w, https:\/\/geartips.club\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/07\/eliseu-fechou-webserie-decatlhon-300x168.webp 300w, https:\/\/geartips.club\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/07\/eliseu-fechou-webserie-decatlhon-768x429.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The experience shared by the athletes and ambassadors also reflects Decathlon&#8217;s expertise in the outdoor world through the brands Quechua and Simond, specialized in trekking, camping, climbing, and mountaineering.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We believe adventure begins long before the trail: in preparation, knowledge, and the confidence to explore new paths.
