Malato di montagna

Year: 2000 Pages: 262 A great athlete tells his story and explains the reason for his passion for the mountains in all its manifestations. Hans Kammerlander began writing this book at the base camp of Kanchenjunga, the first of the three 8000ers he wanted to climb in the spring of 1998, and continued it in hospital after having had to interrupt the Himalayan "Trilogy" since, during his descent from the mountain, his toes were frozen. He tells us in an engaging way about his life among rocks and ice, his adventures in the death zone, and about his passion that led him, from a very young age, to the most impervious walls and the highest peaks in the world. A book for those who love the mountains and for all those who want to understand what it means to "go beyond the limit". Pocket version.
