Members and founders of LUCM are Mickael Colautti, Francesco Dolfo, Antton Zubbia and Jon Ortuondo. As the name says L’Uomo al Martello (The man with the club), the type of challenges that these guys usually are marked adventures that put your body to the limit either for endurance, strength, fatigue or the sum of the suggested three and always accompanied by the shadow of the man with the club.
