olyclimber Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 On this day in 1954, first ascent of K2 by Lacedelli and Compagnoni. Quote
Weekend_Climberz Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 I think Bonatti should be recognized (though he didn't summit) if just only for the reasons that he was shunned from European climbing for so long due to the lies surrounding the first ascent. Yeah K2! Yeah Walter Bonatti! Quote

G-spotter Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 Where the hell is K1 anyway? I know K7 is over in Charakusa somewhere... Quote
Jens Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 I think Bonatti should be recognized (though he didn't summit) if just only for the reasons that he was shunned from European climbing for so long due to the lies surrounding the first ascent. Yeah K2! Yeah Walter Bonatti! Walter Bonatti gets my vote for the greatest climber of all time. Quote
Punter Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 K1 = Masherbrum K3 = Gasherbrum IV which is arguable Bonatti's greatest FA. Quote
Thinker Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 Lino Lacedelli's book is now available in English. It hasn't been officially released yet in the US, but chesslerbooks.com has some UK copies in stock. Looks like Mountaineers Books is the publisher...maybe someone there could pinch a couple of copies...who has an inside person there? Quote
