On social media, Cordoni celebrated the achievement. “I’ve always thought about that moment. I imagined the cold, the wind, the silence, my body on the edge and the emotion of reaching the highest point in the world. But no imagination comes close to what it’s like to truly experience it,” he wrote.
The mountaineer also highlighted that the expedition is not over yet. “Now one of the most important parts begins: the descent. Here, reaching the summit is a huge achievement, but returning safely is the absolute priority,” he said.
