Timeline
Chandellier, Antoine (2005). La Trace de l'Ange: La vie de Marco Siffredi. Editions Guérin. p. 400 pages. ISBN 2-911755-83-9.
Early in August 2002, Siffredi departed for Nepal, intending to make the first snowboard descent of Everest along the Hornbein Couloir. It was late in the season for summitting Everest, but Siffredi hoped that the passage would have more snow. On August 10, he left Kathmandu with three sherpa (Phurba, Pa Nuru and Da Tenzing), reaching base camp in Tibet on August 14. On September 7, the group reached the advanced field at 8,300 m. On Sept. 8, 2002, Siffredi and the sherpas reached the summit at 2:10 PM. According to Phurba Tashi, however, Siffredi showed little enthusiasm for the accomplishment, commenting that he was "Tired, tired...too much climbing..."
Siffredi reached the summit of Everest, a 8,848-meter mountain, on May 23, 2001 with the help of oxygen along with two Sherpas who brought the equipment. He was forced to choose an alternative route to the one he considered the "Holy Grail" of snowboarding, as the Hornbein Couloir did not have enough snow. Instead, he rode down the Norton Couloir back to Advanced Base Camp (ABC) at the foot of the North Col. Then he began the descent down the Norton Couloir of the north face, but after 200 meters a fastening strap on his snowboard broke due to the cold . After repairing it with help from a sherpa, Siffredi continued the descent to 6,400 meters in two hours.
In autumn 2001, he climbed Shisha Pangma, Himalayas (8,027 m) with the intention of making the entire descent by snowboard, but strong winds prevented the attempt.
In his early years, Marco Siffredi made several first descents in the Chamonix valley before extending his horizons to bigger peaks. In June 1999, he made the second-ever descent of Nant Blanc on the Aiguille Verte, after Jean-Marc Boivin’s ski descent in 1989.
In May 1996, Siffredi snowboarded down the north face of the Aiguille du Midi on Mont Blanc along the Mallory track, a descent of 1,000 meters with passages of more than 50-degree incline. In 1998, in preparation for climbing the Himalayas, he climbed Tocllaraju in Peru (6,032 m) with Philippe Forte and René Robert. In 1999 he climbed Dorje Lhakpa (6,988 m) in Nepal and made the first snowboard descent of the mountain.
Marco Siffredi (22 May 1979 – 8 September 2002) was a French snowboarder and mountaineer who hailed from a climbing family; his father was a mountain guide, and his brother had died in an avalanche in Chamonix. Siffredi was the first to descend Mount Everest on a snowboard in 2001 via the Norton Couloir. In 2002, he disappeared after making his second Everest summit, while attempting to snowboard the Hornbein Couloir.
