Description

<p>Marmolada South Face</p><p>Today there are about 200 routes on the south face of the Marmolada, most of which are true masterpieces, works of art that symbolize the evolution of alpinism and are the maximum expression of difficulty, effort and beauty.</p><p>An enormous project in which the more than 5000 pitches of the south face have been brought up to date and catalogued with all the details. With the aim of showing, accompanying and explaining, and with a few more words than necessary, because rock is not just rock and a wall is not just a wall.</p><p>Maurizio Giordani. An alpinist since 1979, his experience ranges from high levels of difficulty on ice and rock in the Dolomites and the Alps to the Himalayas, with thousands of ascents, often beyond the sixth grade. Furthermore, there are a good hundred new routes, dozens of first repeats in winter and solo, mostly with extreme levels of difficulty.<br></p><p>He is a mountain guide, is passionate about traveling and has more than 80 expeditions around the world to his name. He has climbed beyond 8000 meters (Broad Peak, Gasherbrum II, Cho Oyo, Manaslu and Nanga Parbat) and many other difficult mountains, whether ice or rock. Furthermore, Cerro Torre, Fitz Roy, Cerro Pier Giorgio in Patagonia, the walls of Monte Kenia, Aconcagua, Muztagh Ata, Golden Peak, Baruntse II, Ama Dablam, Mount Cook, Ararat, Damavand, Huascaran, Pico de Orizaba, Elbrus, Kilimanjaro...from the Karakoram to the Andes, America, Africa, Asia.</p><p>He has published three books on the Marmolada, one on the history of alpinism "Sogno di Pietra" and two climbing guides on the south face, published by Edizioni Mediterranee and Versante Sud.</p><p>"Appigli sfuggenti" for Alpine studio is his latest publication, a collection of stories and anecdotes...basically his entire biography.</p><p>His trilogy of extreme solo ascents is outstanding, with the first free solo of Tempi Moderni, the first solo in the winter of Supermatita and the first solo of Via attraverso il pesce.</p><p>The south face of the Marmolada is "his" wall, where he has opened up more than 50 new routes that are among the most beautiful and difficult of all.</p> <p
