World's news
29 December, 2005 The first Chinese mountain rescue team will be coordinated by Sichuan Mountaineering Association.
Sichuan provence is becoming the most popular place for Chinese climbers and western climbing community for its plenty formidable unclimbed mountains ranging from 5000 to 7556m.

18 November, 2005 Italians Ermanno Salvaterra and Alessandro Beltrami, and Argentinean (US resident) Rolo Garibotti summited Cerro Torre via North Face at 11.30 pm on November 13th - on the exact one year anniversary of Ales and Ermanno's reaching the same summit via a new route on the East face last year..The climb was done in pure apine style, though a new route the team has called “The chest of winds”. At the upper sections of the wall, the climbers traversed from the North face in order to join the Ragni di Lecco route.
The team had hoped to complete the first repetition of the controversial route opened by Cesare Maestri and Toni Egger in 1959. Retracing Maestri’s footsteps, the goal was not only to climb the route, but also check if there are pegs or other rests left by the ’59 climbers, to prove they actually climbed the wall.
In 2004, Ermanno Salvaterra, and Alessandro Beltrami opened a new route on Cerro Torre. The climb on the East face was named “Five years in Paradise”. (www.ExWeb)
