Walter Bonatti

Italy

Pemain kunci ekspedisi K2 Italia 1954; solo jalur baru North Face Matterhorn musim dingin (1965) — lalu langsung pensiun di usia 35 sebagai alpinis terbesar generasinya.

Walter Bonatti (1930–2011) was an Italian alpinist widely regarded as one of the greatest mountaineers of all time. He played a crucial role in the 1954 Italian K2 first ascent by carrying oxygen cylinders to 8,100 m overnight without a tent. His masterpiece was a solo new route on the Matterhorn's North Face in winter (February 1965), after which he immediately retired from professional climbing at age 35.
