Broad Peak 78 + Alp Magazine 247

DVD: Year: 1995 Duration: 29 minutes Broad Peak, in the Himalayas of Pakistan, had already been climbed, via the route chosen by Seigneur, by the legendary Hermann Buhl in 1957 with three companions (including Kurt Diemberger), in style alpine. But it took Buhl twenty-four days from base camp to the summit (8048 m). The revolutionary message is not so much having illustrated the possibility of achieving the same objective in just four days (and three bivouacs), but rather having explained how mountaineering, in order to make a leap forward, had to be supported by the ability to suffer before undertaking, during very hard months of training in the gym, on the paths and on the rocks, to then be able to "run" on the wall. Yannick and Georges Battembourg, without porters, with cameramen up to 7300 m. (then they turned themselves), they reached the Himalayan peak, with the tent still on their shoulders, happy.
