Sergio Martini reaches Shisha Pangma Central
On 8 October the Italian mountaineer Sergio Martini reached the summit of Shisha Pangma Central Peak
![]() ![]() As is well known, Sergio Martini has already climbed all fourteen 8000m peaks (Everest in 1999 completed the list) without the use of supplementary oxygen. Martini's himalayan quest has continued since then, most recently with the publicised Shisha Pangma ascent last year together with Cesare Maetsri and Fausto De Stefani. The expedition had hoped to plant the "Flag of peace" on the summit, but was forced to turn back due to Maestri developing AMS. Now, one year later, Martini has finally managed to plant the flag on the summit.
