Versante Sud Shiva's Lingam climbing novel
The travel diary Shiva's Lingam by Versante Sud is the expedition through the North-East face of the Himalayas written by Enrico Rosso with excerpts from the diary of Fabrizio Manoni.
Shivling is a prestigious peak in the Himalayas, coveted by climbing enthusiasts, and a symbol of Shiva for Hindus: a challenging ascent with a two-thousand-meter elevation gain.
Enrico Rosso and Fabrizio Manoni are two young Italian climbers in search of a new route to trace, and they see the North-East face as the next peak to challenge.
Why do they choose Shivling? Not only because it is technically demanding but also because it is aesthetically beautiful.
They have a goal: the North-East face, and how they get there becomes a journey that keeps the reader glued to the couch.
The two young men indeed decide to tackle the new route with essential means, adopting their technique, without the aid of sherpas, fixed camps on the wall, and fixed ropes.
How will it evolve? An eight-day journey that becomes a beautiful story to read.
