Petzl Legend Tour / Watch Federica Mingolla climb Grand Capucin in the footsteps of Walter Bonatti

The states of grace of Walter Bonatti, his huge archive now stored in the Turin-based National Museum of the Mountain, the magic of the Mont Blanc massif, the grandeur of the east face of Grand Capucin, its unmistakable red granite, the numerous pages of mountaineering history that were written these walls, the perfection of the climbs on cracks, corners, roofs and vertical slabs that even today fuel the dreams and pose a challenge for countless mountaineers.

These are the ingredients of this episode of Petzl Legend Tour Italia which will take you on a journey through history and time. It leads to the summit of Grand Capucin, up a route established on the east face by Walter Bonatti and Luciano Ghigo between 21 and 23 July 1951, thanks to Petzl athlete and Mountain Guide Federica Mingolla.
