Lino Lacedelli and Achille Compagnoni embrace one another on K2: they’re the first to ever climb the second tallest peak of the world. Conquering K2 is an athletic effort, but it’s also much more than that. It’s also an iconic moment, which touches the hearts of Italians right when they are rebuilding after the war. Because going to K2 is like going to the moon. 70 years later, this podcast tells the story of that adventure and the impact that K2 had on the national collective imagination as well as on an entire country that was trying to find itself right in that moment.

The men setting off for the expedition are expert mountaineers, but climbing an eight-thousander is like going to another planet. The thin air makes everything different: in order to succeed the eleven climbers and the rest of their team need to do some serious training. While they’re getting ready, the expedition-leader Ardito Desio is travelling all over Italy for the best equipment which will bring the team to the summit, in absolute safety. Or, at least, in the safest way possible, because the mountain is always dangerous. This realization hits the team hard, when one of the members dies while setting up the camps on K2.
