Horacio Galanti
On many expeditions, often battling against strong winds and whiteouts, the climbers have developed a powerful passion and motivation, stamina and mental endurance to stay focused and alert of the risks associated with high altitude mountaineering while enjoying the whole experience and adventure …
As high altitude climbers with developed skills on rock and ice ascents, glacier travelling, a powerful drive for adventure and a healthy and sporty lifestyle, Horacio and Laura are ready to reach the Top of the World. While living at lower altitudes and not climbing mountains Horacio is a Civil Engineer and Laura a Medical Doctor.
Preparing for the Everest Expedition is a serious business regarding physical and mental preparation and they devote long hours improving aerobic capacity, strength and stamina. The altitude of Mt Everest is 8,850 meters or 29,035 feet (commercial airplanes travel at 30,000 feet!). The training is performed year round and during this 2-year period they will be climbing several peaks to test equipment, promote sponsors and get prepared in the best way possible for this ultimate challenge: the summit of Mt Everest at 8,850 meters!
