This summer Jimmy and his friend Mario will free climb 4 mountains within 24 hs. in the DOLOMITES (North Italy), without any climbing equipment or ropes. They will carry only their rock shoes and the YETI equipment to fly down from each mountain.

They will start to climb the first cliff, the MARMOLADA during the night. To successfully complete the project their plan is to arrive in the village of CAMPITELLO in the evening for a Pizza!.


1st Mountain:
the South Face of MARMOLADA, start at 2074m and arrive at 3343m. 1st flight: from the top of the MARMOLADA Glacier at 3343m to the base of the next cliff at 2082m. Difficulty: The climbing will be very difficult as it will be during the night and the climbing grade is hard. They will take off from the glacier: a really easy take off but they have to cross the valley and they will need a few thermals.



2nd Mountain:
the West Face of PORDOI, start at 2082m and arrive at 2950m. 2nd flight: from the top of PORDOI at 2950m to the base of the next cliff At 2050m. Difficulty: The climbing will be quite difficult because some parts are wet, and the grade is quite hard. Flying from the top of PORDOI is quite easy, but the take off is very rocky and there is only one direction to launch.

3rd Mountain:
the South Face of PIZ CIAVAZES, start at 2050m and arrive at 2733m. 3rd flight: from the top of PIZ CIAVAZES at 2733m to the base of the next cliff at 2450m. Difficulty: Easier climbing , the grade is acceptable. Flying from the top of PIZ CIAVAZES is quite easy.


4th Mountain:
the South Face of GROHMANN (Sassolungo), start at 2450m and arrive at 3111m. 4th flight: from the top of GROHMANN at 3111m and arrive in the village Of CAMPITELLO. Difficulty: Easier climbing , the grade is acceptable. Flying from the top of GROHMANN is really hard, there are a lot of stones and the space to run at the take off is only a few meters.
