Walter Bonatti Quotes
The solitary ascent of the Dru had the immediate effect of expanding the horizons of my ideas about mountaineering.

This was how the superb pyramid of K2 surfaced once more in the list of my projects. But I chose K2 as a way for giving concrete form to my new concept of mountaineering: to climb the second highest mountain in the world solo, alpine style, and without oxygen.
