About this listen

 Alone, in the dark, in one of the most dangerous places of the planet. Shortly after completing the climb, Achille Compagnoni and Lino Lacedelli start to make their way back down towards the base camp: they stumble, they fall, they slide. They lose part of their technical equipment and their flashlight even goes out. And yet, somehow they manage to make their way out alive from that which is known as the “Death Zone” and back to their companions at the base camp: they’re safe. It’s the arrival point of an endeavor which the expedition leader has been organizing for an entire year; and that started with searching for funds, then continued with the diplomatic relations of the Italian President of the Council Alcide de Gasperi, and was later made possible with the full support of the most advanced Italian technology companies.
