Features ed. desnivel crónicas del himalaya

travel and adventure book

Book about mountaineering in which things are told that are not usually talked about. There are no epic climbs, although there are plenty of climbs. Because after 16 years of expeditions to the Himalaya and Karakoram - many of them as part of Carlos Soria's team - it can be said that Sito Carcavilla has a lot to tell about life in a base camp.

On expeditions there is a lot of downtime and people entertain themselves as best they can. Sito Carcavilla does it by writing what he sees, what happens and what he thinks. In Crónicas del Himalaya he becomes a chronicler of what he is experiencing in the first person, giving us a fun, reflective and critical account of what the backroom of a base camp entails, all that which is not talked about and which is part of the expeditions.

A personal and at the same time very diverse portrait of what modern mountaineering is like in mountains of 8000 meters.
