Fausto
De Stefani was part of this Expedition. Fausto
De Stefani is currently working on building a school in Nepal at Kirtipur.
Kirtipur is a very poor part of Kathmandu. Fausto
De Stefani has been credited with 13 summit of the 14 8000 meter peaks.
On Lhotse he reached a very high point possibly the Summit, but historians have
not given him the credit because he summited in a snow storm and another climber
said the tracks stopped short of the summit. Then again were they filled in by
the snow? He seem to have no interest in going back. Sergio
Martini did go back to end the doubt.
