Features ed. desnivel kurtyka. el arte de la libertad
The mountaineer Voytek Kurtyka remains today one of the greatest mountaineers of all time. Born in 1947, he was a benchmark for Polish Himalayanism. His visionary approach to climbing resulted in a large number of relevant ascents, such as traversing the peaks of Broad Peak, non-stop climbs of Cho Oyu and Shishapangma and especially the alpine-style ascent of the west face of Gasherbrum. IV with Robert Schauer. That 1985 ascent, which was called & quot; the climb of the century & quot;, did not happen again until 2017.Highly secretive, he has declined countless invitations to interviews, conferences and festivals, but has agreed to collaborate with award-winning Canadian writer Bernadette McDonald. In this long-awaited biography, McDonald uncovers a great mountaineer but above all reveals Kurtyka's particular philosophy of life with his profound personal revelations about beauty, companionship, and - above all - freedom.
