From Dolomite Website (07/16/2010)

Oscar Piazza, Massimiliano Zortea and Angelo Giovanetti left a sign in history climbing the north wall of Ganchempo, Nepal

Nature never stops to astonish, and so mountain is always able to reveal new facets. On April/May 2010 three Italian guides opened a new way on the north wall of Ganchempo, Langtang Valley, Himalaya. On their feet Cougar Pro Gtx [boots], at their side Dolomite.

On April the 24th Oscar Piazza, Massimiliano Zortea and Angelo Giovanetti left Milano. On May the 30th they started their adventure from Syabrubesi (1460m) reaching at first Lama Hotel at 2470m and then Langtang (3430m) on May the 1st and Kyanjin Gompa (3870m) on May the 2nd.

After some days of naturalization and bad weather, on May the 8th our three mountaineers reached the Ganchempo Base Camp, 5070m, while the following day they faced the first climb of the glacier: it was snowing very fast!

Adrenalin and passion for mountain help you to go on even in difficulties. Perseverance, enthusiasm, obstinacy, training and professional equipment: this is what is necessary.

On May the 11th Piazza, Zortea and Giovanetti reached the Advanced Camp (5500m) and after a night on height they climbed and went back down the Ganchempo North Wall with a 15 hours no stop hiking.

A unique emotion for them and Dolomite too that signed this important goal. On May the 13th the return to the Advanced Camp and the rest to the Base Camp. The tiredness is high...but the satisfaction too!

Congratulations to Oscar, Angelo and Massimiliano from all Dolomite staff.
