 SHISHA
PANGMA 2006 Summit
|
 |
 | 
Climber Fernando Fernández-Vivancos, from Granada (Spain), crowned SHISHA
PANGMA, 8,048m, on May 9 at 14:30 local time. He is the first Andalucian
who belongs to FAM, who has been able to climb to the main summit of this
mountain. After several days of bad weather they decided to make the first
serious assault to the mountain with a group of Italians lead by Silvio
Moretti. With this ascent he confirms his long experience on mountains all
over the world, Everest, K2, Cho Oyu, Denali, Aconcagua, etc... On some of
them he has climbed beyond 8,000 meters, but it is now that he gets his
reward for his efforts with the summit.
Fernández-Vivancos is a climber committed with his sport and he is right now
a chairman of mountain climbing and director of the team of you climbers of
FAM.
