"Wielicky. Mi Elección" Product Description

Author Piotr Drozdz
Language
Dimensions 15 cm x 23 cm
Pages 272
The unstoppable force of Wielicki flows between these pages frankly and honestly. An amazing sporting and personal career that makes him a symbol of what it means to be a mountaineer, of the values that this sport represents and of what it means to become one of the greatest mountaineers in history.

Krzysztof Wielicki (Poland, 1950) is one of the great figures in the history of eight-thousand-year-olds who earned him the 2018 Princess of Asturias Award for Sports together with Reinhold Messner, and the 2019 Golden Ice Ax to his entire alpine career. He has been one of the great protagonists of the "golden age" of Polish Himalayism, which during the eighties reaped great achievements on the highest peaks of the Earth.

In this, his first autobiography, Wielicki answers journalist Piotr Drózdz's questions and presents all his achievements in the first person. He tells us about his childhood, his university career and about the beginning of his passion for the mountains, to then guide us through each of his ascents and expeditions. It narrates, very vividly, his winter conquests: Everest, Kangchenjunga and Lhotse, and the ascent to the top of Broad Peak in one day, unprecedented in Himalayan history. Or his dramatic fight on the legendary southern wall of Lhotse and his confrontation with the mythical K2. Wielicki also takes us to his most famous solo ascents, the Dhaulagiri and the Shisha Pangma, as well as one of his greatest achievements: the mythical Nanga Parbat. For the first time, it reveals unknown details of the 2013 Broad Peak winter expedition, which ended successfully but also with great tragedy. His narration does not lack issues of his private life, his professional activity as a businessman, his way of understanding life and his vision of the world.
