Left the Pyramid and climbed non-stop to the summit of Lobuche Peak East (6119 Mt) in 4 hours and 20 minutes, without pushing and keeping a steady pace. I stayed at the summit for an hour waiting for my dear friend Sonam Sherpa of 62 years after I had reached and passed him at 5800 Mt. Sonam Sherpa is the owner of Yeti Airlines, Thamserku Trekking and many other businesses, but he retains a boundless passion for mountaineering. Sonam had left yesterday to split the ascent into two by setting a camp at 5600 Mt. Lobuche Peak was the last stage of acclimatization. Now I am going to Manaslu and bet my cards 😇 _______________________________ • MANASLU WINTER EXPEDITION • #manaslu #manaslu2023 #manasluwinterexpedition #NeverStopExploring • Theme: #SimoneMoroAlpinist • Sponsored by: @thenorthface @lasportivagram @garminitaly @camp1889outdoor @dfsportspecialist @gruppo_autotorino @somainitalia @lamantafoods @framar.spa @altitudehelicopters @thenorthfaceIT @thenorthface_climb • Managed by: @mariannazanatta @sportsandbeyondagency

24 dicembre 1997 “Sono 25 anni che vivo la mia nuova esistenza senza il più Grande degli amici che ho avuto. Anatolij Bukreev era unico e avrei tanto voluto farvelo incontrare di persona se non fosse scomparso sull’Annapurna, dalla quale tornai vivo solo io. Anatolij Bukreev e Dimitri Sobolev scomparvero in una gigantesca valanga. Per ricordarli e farveli conoscere un pò ho deciso di far sottotitolare in italiano il film che racconta di lui e di quel 24 dicembre 1997. Le immagini in questo film sono davvero preziose.” LINK IN BIO 👆 Ringrazio @valotif per i sottotitoli in italiano. — December 24th 1997 It has been 25 years that I have been living my new existence without the Greatest of friends I have ever had. Anatolij Bukreev was unique and I would have loved you to meet him in person if he had not disappeared on Annapurna, from where only I returned alive. Anatolij Bukreev and Dimitri Sobolev disappeared in a giant avalanche. In order to remember them and let you get to know them a little bit, I decided to have the film about him and that December 24, 1997, subtitled in Italian. The images in this film are really precious. I take this opportunity to wish you a Merry Christmas. P.S. In the New Year, I will also upload the videos with English subtitles. _______________________________ #annapurna #anatolijbukreev #anatolijboukreev #cometasullannapurna #NeverStopExploring • Theme: #SimoneMoroAlpinist • Sponsored by: @thenorthface @lasportivagram @garminitaly @camp1889outdoor @dfsportspecialist @gruppo_autotorino @somainitalia @lamantafoods @framar.spa @altitudehelicopters @thenorthfaceIT @thenorthface_climb • Managed by: @mariannazanatta @sportsandbeyondagency
A quick update from the Manaslu BC: Conditions are very good although there are very strong winds on the mountain.

As I told you yesterday, looking out the airplane window I received another gift from Nepal: a full skyline of the Himalayan range with crystal clear skies and majestic peaks that looked as if they were within reach. This is my 107th time in Nepal and fifth time to Manaslu. Will it be the right time? _______________________________ • MANASLU WINTER EXPEDITION • #manaslu #manaslu2023 #manasluwinterexpedition #NeverStopExploring • Theme: #SimoneMoroAlpinist • Sponsored by: @thenorthface @lasportivagram @garminitaly @camp1889outdoor @dfsportspecialist @gruppo_autotorino @somainitalia @lamantafoods @framar.spa @altitudehelicopters @thenorthfaceIT @thenorthface_climb • Managed by: @mariannazanatta @sportsandbeyondagency
Here is Everest in warm and sunny late autumn. When I keep repeating that astronomical winter is the one and only beginning of the true and only winter climbing season in the northern hemisphere, it is because after 22 winter expeditions I know what I am saying. It is not to create a controversy with friends who start climbing earlier, but just to make you understand why I agreed to fail after December 21st instead of changing the rules in my own favor. I never touched the mountain before December 21st 😇 Pic. #2 Namche Bazaar 3440 m Pic. #3 Sunny and dry upper Khumbu valley _______________________________ • MANASLU WINTER EXPEDITION • #manaslu #manaslu2023 #manasluwinterexpedition #NeverStopExploring • Theme: #SimoneMoroAlpinist • Sponsored by: @thenorthface @lasportivagram @garminitaly @camp1889outdoor @dfsportspecialist @gruppo_autotorino @somainitalia @lamantafoods @framar.spa @altitudehelicopters @thenorthfaceIT @thenorthface_climb • Managed by: @mariannazanatta @sportsandbeyondagency

Acclimatization is proceeding quickly and with spectacular weather and scenery. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the weather remains the same for as long as possible.

Hi guys, here I am finally landed in Kathmandu. I had a fantastic view of the Himalayan range from the window of the airplane. The weather here has been fantastic for the last two months. I’m worried about that because it’s repeating the script that until Christmas it’s beautiful and then when the mountaineering winter starts, the astronomical winter, the conditions change. However you know it, I’ve known all along, this is my 22nd winter mountaineering expedition. I will go initially to the Khumbu valley to acclimatize, already from tomorrow. I will update you day by day. I plan to do a couple of mountains above 6000 m. and then go to Manaslu base camp already acclimatized. It is clear that I am relying on both health and luck, whereas health I can think about and be as prepared as possible, the weather is beyond me. Let’s say that if there is not only bad luck in life, which has been the case in the previous four editions at Manaslu, I hope this time to have a favorable star and that at least we can play all the cards, that it is not the high snow or avalanche danger that stops everything but possibly my inefficiency or inability. I am obviously here to go to the top and not to go home the fifth time, but if it is necessary, rest assured that no one has come here to play the hero. Obviously if one comes back and puts his hand in his wallet to pay for the expedition five times, it is because he is determined and motivated to go to the top. With me will be Alex Txicon. He has already been here for a month so he is more acclimatized than I am. He will arrive a little earlier at the Manaslu base camp. I will meet him in the next few days. Now nothing, we have to go. Follow me, I will try to cheer you up with nice pictures and videos hoping they are with blue sky, Bye! _______________________________ • MANASLU WINTER EXPEDITION • #NeverStopExploring #ManasluWinterExpedition • Theme: #SimoneMoroAlpinist • Sponsored by: @thenorthface @lasportivagram @garminitaly @camp1889outdoor @dfsportspecialist @gruppo_autotorino @somainitalia @lamantafoods @framar.spa @altitudehelicopters @thenorthfaceIT @thenorthface_climb • Managed by: @mariannazanatta @sportsandbeyondagency

I chose a winter career because I don’t like to navigate flat water. It is in the waves of life that you rise and learn the art of survival. By accepting failure and exposing yourself to the unknown you still have a chance to write a piece of history. _________________________ #NeverStopExploring • Theme: #SimoneMoroAlpinist • Sponsored by: @thenorthface @lasportivagram @garminitaly @camp1889outdoor @dfsportspecialist @gruppo_autotorino @somainitalia @lamantafoods @framar.spa @altitudehelicopters @thenorthfaceIT @thenorthface_climb • Managed by: @mariannazanatta @sportsandbeyondagency
Achieving a goal should not require motivation from the outside, but being clear about that goal, equipping oneself, self-disciplining oneself, taking into account having to endure, persevere, evolve, observe, listen, react and reward the team. Truly an honor to have been on stage at the @gruppo_autotorino Convention 2022 in front of no less than 2,000 employees from the 62 bases in Italy, and to talk not only about goals but also about #dnaautotorino and about their shared values. Amazing energy! Thank you Plinio Vanini, thank you Stefano Martinalli, thank you to the whole #autotorino family. @gruppo_autotorino ________ Manager @mariannazanatta @sportsandbeyondagency
