Ivano Ghirardini

In 1975, he made his first solo winter ascent of the north face of the Grandes Jorasses via the Shroud (Le Linceul).

In January 1977, he attempted a winter solo ascent of the Matterhorn, but failed due to a storm.

He soloed the Grandes Jorasses again in January 1978 (the Croz Spur), and then the north face of Eiger in March 1978, thereby becoming the first mountaineer to solo all three of the "trilogy" (the north faces of the Matterhorn, Grandes Jorasses and Eiger) in winter.

First solo climb of the south wall, in four days, following the French Route-1954 and taking the Messner's variation, reached the summit in January 1981 making this remarkable first.
