Everest
Expedition to the Ultimate
'Everest by fair means - that is the human dimension, and that is what interests me ... In reaching for the oxygen cylinder, a climber degrades Everest ... a climber who doesn't rely on his own strength and skills, but on apparatus and drugs, deceives himself. In May 1978 Reinhold Messner and Peter Habeler became the first climbers in history to reach the summit of Mount Everest without the use of supplementary oxygen - an event which made international headlines and permanently altered the future of mountaineering.

Über den Autor
Reinhold Messner is one of the world's greatest mountaineers. He was the first person to climb the fourteen 8,000-metre peaks, he made the first ascent of Mount Everest without supplementary oxygen and has made over 3,000 climbs on the world's mountains. He has crossed the Antarctic, Greenland and Tibet, as well as the Gobi and Takla Makan deserts. Born in 1944, Messner grew up in the Italian Dolomites. He climbed his first mountain at the age of five, with his father, and rapidly became one of Europe's best mountaineers. A great proponent of alpine-style climbing, Messner has always chosen to climb 'by fair means', preferring small teams and limiting his use of artificial tools so as to experience nature as he finds it. A writer and photographer, Messner has written over fifty books, which have been translated across the globe and won numerous awards. He was a Member of the European Parliament for the Italian Green Party from 1999 to 2004 and now lives in a castle in northern Italy, dedicating his time to his Messner Mountain Museum - five interrelated museums in the South Tyrol dedicated to the art, culture, and peculiarities of mountain regions. He has found the Messner Mountain Foundation (MMF) in order to support the mountain people worldwide.
