Marco Siffredi
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. He was the first to descend Mount Everest on a snowboard in 2001 via the Norton Couloir.〔 In 2002, he disappeared after making his second successful Everest summit, while attempting to snowboard the Hornbein Couloir.
== First Everest descent==
Marco Siffredi reached the summit of Everest, a 29,035-foot mountain, on May 23, 2001 with the help of oxygen along with two Sherpas who brought the equipment.
Siffredi was forced to snowboard down an alternative route to the one he considered the Holy Grail of snowboarding. The coveted Hornbein Couloir didn’t have enough snow, so he rode down the Norton Couloir for the historic ride back to Advanced Base Camp at the foot of the North Col. Then begins the descent down the Norton Couloir of the north face, but after only 200 meters due to the intense cold (- 35 °C) a fastening strap on his snowboard broke; unable to repair it with help from a sherpa, Marco continued the descent to 6,400 meters in two hours.
On May 22, the Austrian Stefan Gatt reached the summit alone and without using oxygen. He went on a snowboard up to 8,600 meters along the north wall, but at that altitude he found very hard snow and decided to continue without snowboard; the quota of 7,500 meters using shooting snowboarding, going up to 6,450 meters. There were disputes about who will be awarded the first snowboard descent of Everest in, as Stefan Gatt got out first, but for about 1,000 meters without using a snowboard. The site everestnews.com attributed primacy to Marco Siffredi but the site snowboarding.transworld.net recognized merits and demerits to both, for which the record was shared.
