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

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.
