Mammut and ISPO join forces for Mont Blanc ascent
11/09/2015
Rolf Schmid and Klaus Dittrich trained intensively for the one-shot ascent of 4,810-metre Mont Blanc, but adverse weather conditions meant they fell just short of the summit.
M Dittrich said: “Safety in the mountains is always rule number one. Of course we were disappointed to have to turn around so close to the peak, however even under those circumstances the tour was a spectacular experience. I am very glad that all participants made it safely down the mountain.”
They filmed the tour for the Mammut #project360, which documents alpine routes with the help of 360-degree camera technology.
“Mammut turns the world’s most important mountain peaks into a virtual experience for everyone. Of course, Mont Blanc had to be among those peaks. It was particularly enjoyable for me to directly help with the documentation,” said Rolf Schmid.
The CEOs documented their tour up to their weather-related return. A second team finalised the shoot at the peak the following day.
