In recent years, the factor that has generated in human beings the desire to raise the bar ever higher has certainly been that linked to altitude, first with Everesting (a term that derives from the fusion of the words Everest and cycling, with the aim of reaching an altitude of 8,848 metres, precisely that of the most famous mountain in the world) and followed by any other folly that human beings have invented to surpass themselves.
Before attempting his 20,000 meters, Amedeo had already achieved some noteworthy madness, including a 10,000 meters, which in itself remains a daunting challenge not for everyone, and it was precisely from here that the idea of doubling up began to arise in his head, and so he would do.
Coming off a difficult period, with little training and having tested positive for Covid-19 two weeks earlier, Amedeo still wanted to try this madness and challenge himself.
When the fateful day of departure arrived, the weather was certainly not on his side, and it was immediately clear that the bad weather would make everything much more difficult than expected.
Faithful to his roadbook and estimated times, Amedeo proceeds at a good pace for the first dozen climbs, until fatigue, the cold, and the rain begin to take their toll. Meter after meter, everything becomes more and more of a challenge within himself, one that only the mind can allow you to complete.
5 degrees Celsius, fog, and incessant rain forced Amedeo to bring forward his first stop. A hot shower and a brief respite from the damned weather that continued to rage on the climb he'd chosen for the challenge. At this point, there was still more than half the elevation gain to go, and he was desperate to give up, but finally, after a bit of rest and a more than hearty breakfast at 5:30 a.m., he picked up where he left off.
Unfortunately, the bad weather continues to put a spoke in the wheels, but as day arrives, friends and acquaintances begin to pop up like mushrooms in the rain, accompanying Amedeo in his little ordeal, giving him the strength and will to continue. Another ten hours pass, and the rain never stops falling heavily.
At 7:00 PM, Amedeo, completely exhausted, decides to take his second and final break, so he sneaks into the house of his best friend, who has been assisting them for over 24 hours. Another hot shower, a pizza with friends, and a million sweet treats are devoured at lightning speed to recharge his already shattered legs one last time. Filled with adrenaline, Amedeo decides to continue his climb.
The last stretch of climbs begins with a ray of light which is interrupted immediately after the first climb, when it starts raining again.
At that point, however, Amedeo, aware that he had pedaled for more than two-thirds of the undertaking in the pouring rain, decides not to give up; he only has nine of the 35 climbs left to complete his feat. This mood rewards him, and after a few hours, as if by magic, the skies clear, the temperatures rise, and the rain disappears, so Amedeo manages to complete his last five climbs in his summer overalls.
At the top of the final climb, Amedeo finds his entire family waiting for him in tears: his parents, his wife, his daughter, and his best friends. This is how everything makes sense, everything falls into place.
Dedication, passion, hard work, and satisfaction: the menu for a breathtaking three-day experience. Everesting is an undertaking that takes on even greater value when undertaken by dedicated people.
