Piedra de luz
Sebastián Álvaro (2010)
Gasherbrum IV, standing at 7,925 meters, is probably the most beautiful mountain in the Karakorum, the only one capable of putting the majesty of K2 into the shade. It was first climbed on 6 August 1958 by Italian mountaineers Walter Bonatti and Carlo Mauri. Fifty years after that great achievement, a team of friends, Alberto Iñurrategui, José Carlos Tamayo, Mikel Zabala, Juan Vallejo, and Ferran Latorre, decide to tackle this colossal monument to inaccessibility. It is the end of a long journey and the start of a great story of friendship in the mountains.- 2010

La conquista del Buckland
Carlo Mauri (1966)
In 1966 it was Carlo Mauri who again organized an expedition of the Ragni di Lecco (Mauri, Ferrari, Alippi, Giudici, Machetto and Pirovano) for the ascent of Monte Buckland. On February 6th the summit was reached. Their route departed from Bahía Encanto through the western slope of the mountain, up a narrow gorge to the glacier at high altitude and from there up the southwest face leading to the summit. A huge crack in the glacier would have stopped them just before the goal, if Ferrari had not discovered, after a long search, a small passage to the wall of the summit, which they covered in a southerly direction up to the highest point.- 1966
