Alex Zanardi, two-time Paralympic handbike champion in the unusual role of TV host puts out the same energy as always This episode of Sfide tells the story of Walter Bonatti, who died on September 14, 2011, a man who with strength and determination won many challenges but was also mistreated and humiliated many times, however forcefully demonstrating who he really was. an example of determination, to draw the best of oneself from evil. About an hour of footage, some unpublished, interspersed with interviews with people who knew him and accompanied him in his life. His partner Rossana Podestà, Reinhold Messner, Mauro Corona, Simone Moro, Renzino Cosson, Arnaud Clavel, Michele Serra. A life that seems like a novel, even if he considered himself only a "son of the Po who as a child dreamed of the distant lands of Jack London and Ernest Hemingway". A life that led him on new and solitary routes, from the Gran Capucin to the Dru on Mont Blanc, to the winter on the Matterhorn, to travel in the deserts and Amazonian forests. A life marked by the K2 affair, in which his young life and his mountaineering career were sacrificed by the expedition leader Ardito Desio and the first climbers of K2 Achille Compagnoni and Lino Lacedelli, for the nationalistic redemption through a mountaineering feat. The young Bonatti who, in 1954 was 24 years old, after having played the fundamental role almost of sherpa by equipping the route and carrying the oxygen tanks at high altitude was accused of having stolen their oxygen to reach the summit first, after having abandoned it at a night bivouac at 8000 meters. An unfounded version as demonstrated by the trials and the confession of Lacedelli himself before dying, which rewrote history only 50 years later. But this injustice marked him deeply, he knew how to defend himself from nature, but not from human wickedness, which resurfaced in the story of the Central Pillar of Freney on Mont Blanc, in 1961, a tragedy in which 4 mountaineers died. Bonatti's life is ultimately a metaphor for mountaineering, which will be remembered and passed on to future generations, not only for the peaks he conquered, but for his ability to live with loyalty and respect for nature and other men.
