Goodbye Cristina Castagna

Sono un Acchiappasogni mani troppo fragili e Cuore troppo lento.

Sulla Cima di un 8000 cè il Silenzio.

Un Silenzio che lascia spazio solo al battito del Cuore, al respiro affannoso, a te stesso.

Il Mondo è troppo rumoroso sono una ricercatrice del Silenzio.

Semplicemente El Grio.

Per Cristina Castagna, la giovane alpinista vicentina della "scuderia" SALEWA, 31 anni, è stata fatale una scivolata in un crepaccio durante la conquest of the K3, the Himalayas, the twelfth highest mountain on the planet.
Cristina, was the first Italian woman to climb the 8,462-meter Himalayan peak. His climbing career is fairly recent, but it was full of great results. In 2003, after climbing in the Alps than 4000 won the Aconcagua, the highest peak in South America, 6,962 meters. In the same year came an extraordinary opportunity: the Everest, which climbed to an altitude of 7,800 meters.

will be a performance that sparked in her the desire of the Himalayas. And so in 2004 it reached Tibet from the top station (8013 meters) of Shishapangma, and could boast of being the most young Italian woman to have won a 8000.
This also received a recognition by the Region on the occasion of the delivery of ducats to sporting merit. The following year he put his foot on the summit of Gasherbrum II (8035 meters) and in 2006, another expedition in the Himalayas, at an altitude of 8120 arrived on Lhotse. In 2007 he returned to Vicenza on a Himalayan peak with a climb to 8,167 meters of Dhaulagiri.
Aware of the risks that implies extreme mountain, had left a note at home, Valdagno "If I let something happen where the mountain has called me to him."
