Description
Countless stories of success and suffering are concentrated on the
highest mountains in the world. Drawing on his own letters from
the past fifty years as well as selected excerpts from pioneers like
Mummery, Weltzenbach, Hillary and Buhl – letters about moments
of joy and triumph; messages that posthumously became letters
of farewell – Reinhold Messner explores what drives the greatest
mountaineers. They testify to the courage of these early trailblazers
and their minimally equipped expeditions, but also
explore the high-tech mountain tourism of our present age. There
are stories of adventure, ambition and romance, but also of loss,
frustration and disappointment; the book depicts key moments in
Himalayan mountain climbing and offers very personal insights into
Messner’s life and his approach as a mountain climber.
