New challenge for Yannick GRAZIANI: EVEREST without oxygen!

After huge attempts on Dhaulagiri and Nanga Parbat last year, Yannick GRAZIANI is on the way to Everest. He will try to climb the Everest’s southern side by the classic road. He will be accompanied by Ferran Latorre, Barcelona, and Hanz Wenzl, Austria. If he already climbed many times with Ferran Latorre, that’s the first expedition with Hanz Wenzl. They will climb without any oxygen; the three mans can count only on themselves to complete the challenge.
