2001 was without a doubt one of the most important of his career: in just 5 months he climbed four of the Eight-Thousanders – Everest, Gasherbrum I, Gasherbrum II, and Dhaulagiri. One of the very few to have done so, and the only Italian.
Mondinelli trains for his feats with a commitment that takes fastidiousness to new levels, starting with physical training.
Every day he goes hill running: a climb of 1200 metres. In winter he adds ski mountaineering.
Every evening he does an hour’s spin bike to recover and relax his muscles.

Gnaro is known not only for the fact that he has never used oxygen on his climbs, but also for his extreme generosity. He has rescued a lot of climbers in trouble during his expeditions, often risking his own success to do so.
He is also the second Italian (and sixth in the world) who has climbed all 8-Thousanders, after Reinhold Messner.
