The Shiva’s Lingam travel diary of Versante Sud is the expedition through the North-East wall of the Himalayas written by Enrico Rosso with excerpts from Fabrizio Manoni’s diary.
Shivling is a peak of the prestigious Himalayas and sought after by mountaineering enthusiasts, symbol of Shiva for the Indus: a demanding ascent of two thousand meters in altitude.
Enrico Rosso and Fabrizio Manoni are two young Italian climbers looking for a new route to track and see in the North-East wall the next peak to challenge.
Why choose Shivling? Not only because it is technically demanding but also because it is aesthetically beautiful.
They have a goal: the North-East wall and how they get there becomes a journey that keeps the reader glued to the sofa.
In fact, the two young people decide to tackle the new route with essential means, adopting their technique, without the aid of sherpa, fixed fields in the wall and fixed ropes.
How will it evolve? An eight-day journey that becomes a beautiful story to read.
