Description
Dolomites. Vertical Days by Stefano Ardito is an exciting journey through over a century and a half of mountaineering in the Dolomites, from the first ascents of the 1800s to modern free solo feats. The book intertwines stories of pioneers like John Ball, who climbed Pelmo in 1857, with those of contemporary climbers like Hansjörg Auer, who freed the Fish route in free solo in 2007. Each chapter recounts an unforgettable day, a vertical challenge that has marked the history of mountaineering. Ardito explores how motivation has remained unchanged over time: "because it’s there," as Mallory said of Everest. With an engaging style rich in historical details, the book offers a reflection on the changing techniques and motivations, but also on the constant passion that drives climbers of yesterday and today.
