Shisha Pangma, January 14th 2005. Summit! Winter ascents on 8000-meter peaks had almost been forgotten by then, but with our first winter ascent on Shisha Pangma in 2005 we – Piotr Morawski and I – rebooted the game and a new era began. And in my idea, those games have not closed yet. We have a lot to celebrate today. _______________________________ #NeverStopExploring #Shishapangma #firstwinterascent • Theme: #SimoneMoroAlpinist • Sponsored by: @thenorthface @lasportivagram @garminitaly @camp1889outdoor @dfsportspecialist @gruppo_autotorino @somainitalia @lamantafoods @framar.spa @altitudehelicopters @thenorthfaceIT @thenorthface_climb • Managed by: @mariannazanatta @sportsandbeyondagency

SUMMIT!!! for Alex and team who made it to the top of Manaslu in winter after 39 years since the first winter on that mountain. CONGRATULATIONS my friends!!! I, instead, landed a little more than an hour ago in Kathmandu and before going to the hospital for the necessary investigations I decided to briefly to inform you about myself and the expedition. I am basically fine, I think I have an intestinal issue that has caused me uninterrupted dysentery for the last 3 days. These were the perfect days for the Manaslu summit attempt, the ones I had been awaiting for 5 years, the ones to which I made myself ready and strategically started using to go to the summit. Physical sickness was unforeseen, good weather un-postponable, dangers attached to a strong physical weakness un-avoidable. I climbed with Alex Txicon and Chhepal Sherpa from 4850 meters to 5900 meters of Camp 1. Then ever slower I reached 6300 meters under an hour from Camp 2 but the constant dysentery attacks made me realize that I had to decide to return to base camp before the exposure to the camps and high altitude posed a serious problem for both me and the whole group. They tried to convince me saying they would wait for me at Camp 2 or 3 but I told them they absolutely had to exploit the window of exceptional good weather. So they did and made it to the top of Manaslu in winter after 39 years since the first winter on that mountain. I returned by myself to base camp and followed their, our ascent with joy. I am not used to getting sad or regretful about a piece of life that has different epilogues for my person. I am happy that I shared so many winters with Alex and that he went to the top on the perfect day we had courted and waited for. Fate did not want me to be there, but for the whole team to accomplish the project. Fate also did not decide that I lost motivation… Another constructive goodbye to the Nepalese mountains and now I am waiting for Alex to celebrate with him and the whole team.

Before a great mountaineer, a great man. And a great friend and mentor who is deeply missed. Today Anatolij would turn 65 years old! (For those who missed it, in the link in bio, you find in 4 episodes the docufilm about Anatolij). _______________________________ #NeverStopExploring #anatolijbukreev • Theme: #SimoneMoroAlpinist • Sponsored by: @thenorthface @lasportivagram @garminitaly @camp1889outdoor @dfsportspecialist @gruppo_autotorino @somainitalia @lamantafoods @framar.spa @altitudehelicopters @thenorthfaceIT @thenorthface_climb • Managed by: @mariannazanatta @sportsandbeyondagency
February 9th, 2009 – First winter ascent of Makalu The lightest first winter ascent to an eight-thousander in history. Two mountaineers (Denis and I) and a cook were the whole team. Being able to reach the summit after 29 years of attempts was a great moment of happiness and history. It was the final Nepali eight-thousander to be climbed in winter conditions. #makalu #makaluwinterexpedition _______________________________ #NeverStopExploring • Theme: #SimoneMoroAlpinist • Sponsored by: @thenorthface @lasportivagram @garminitaly @camp1889outdoor @dfsportspecialist @gruppo_autotorino @somainitalia @lamantafoods @framar.spa @altitudehelicopters @thenorthfaceIT @thenorthface_climb • Managed by: @mariannazanatta @sportsandbeyondagency

February 2nd, 2011. First winter ascent of Gasherbrum II. It seemed impossible, and many openly stated it. Instead, it took strong motivation and perseverance, experience from previous winter ascents at very high altitudes, the knowledge of failure and learning from defeats, choosing the best companions, forming a team and trusting each other totally, and finally asking Karl Gabl, the best of meteorologists, for help. With all of this, along with the right amount of luck, we were able to achieve this historic accomplishment that is meant to be a tribute to exploration and to all those who had tried before and will try again in the future. #firstwinterascent #gasherbrum2 #celebration _______________________________ #NeverStopExploring • Theme: #SimoneMoroAlpinist • Sponsored by: @thenorthface @lasportivagram @garminitaly @camp1889outdoor @dfsportspecialist @gruppo_autotorino @somainitalia @lamantafoods @framar.spa @altitudehelicopters @thenorthfaceIT @thenorthface_climb • Managed by: @mariannazanatta @sportsandbeyondagency

Vi aspetto! 📌 Sabato 11 Febbraio alle 20 📍 @urbanwallmilano In occasione del @milanoclimbingexpo 2023 sarò ospite all’evento @lasportivagram e intervistato dall’amico di lunga data Vinicio Stefanello – per chi non lo sapesse tra i soci fondatori di @planetmountain. Parleremo di montagna e di alpinismo partendo dalle origini del mio percorso nell’arrampicata sportiva. Attraverso storie e aneddoti del passato ci confronteremo con l’evoluzione di questo mondo fino ad oggi e rifletteremo sul suo futuro. L’avete segnato in agenda? #milanoclimbingexpo #talkandvideoshow Manager @mariannazanatta @sportsandbeyondagency Photo credits @gianmarco_dv
