About this book:

Discover the pulse‑pounding true story behind Italy’s daring 2024 first ascent of Via Gamma, a brand‑new line carved into Siula Grande’s enigmatic East Pillar. Follow Matteo Della Bordella, Alessandro Zeni, and Marco Majori as they trade bivouac whispers for summit triumphs, battling fierce Andean winds, vertiginous granite, and the mountain’s own unforgiving legacy.

Through vivid, on‑the‑ground narration, you’ll feel the sting of icy blisters, the roar of a sudden storm, and the quiet awe of standing atop a peak that has tested generations of climbers. This isn’t just a climb—it’s a masterclass in preparation, teamwork, and the raw, unfiltered drive to push beyond what’s thought possible.

Unfinished stories linger on Siula Grande’s walls, and Via Gamma adds a bold new chapter to its epic tale. If you crave adventure that blends technical brilliance with human resilience, this book will summon you to the edge of the world—and leave you longing for your own call to the heights.
