Sali un ottomila con Gnaro Mondinelli

Year: 2012 Format: 16x21 Pages: 272 Photos: col The volume, written by Enrico Dalla Rosa following Silvio "Gnaro" Mondinelli, contains the detailed story of a typical mountaineering-commercial expedition for the conquest of an 8000 meter peak. The chosen mountain it is Manaslu, one of the favorite destinations of eight-thousander hunters, because despite being challenging, if climbed by the normal route it can be an achievable objective even for the high-level amateur who wants to test himself in an extreme environment. In this book we meet all the "protagonists" of an expedition: the mountaineers, their Sherpa companions and the agency staff who organize the logistics. We discover how a commercial shipment is born and what difficulties and unexpected events may arise. But you also and above all understand the joy you feel in reaching the summit.
