Synopsis
As one of the greatest mountaineers of all time, Reinhold Messner is renowned for his quest for ever-fresh challenges in which he seeks to test his abilities and strengths to their limits.
This book-the first US edition-is drawn from a selection of Messner's most powerful writing. It includes gripping accounts of his epic solo ascent of Everest without supplemental oxygen; his tragic expedition on Manaslu's South Face; and his experiences on Gasherbrum, Nanga Parbat, and K2. Fully illustrated with color photographs and illustrations, this volume represents a distillation of both the achievements and the personal philosophy of a pioneer in the modern era of mountaineering.
Illustrated with color photographs, plus paintings by French artist Jean-Georges Inca.

About the Author
Born in South Tyrol, Reinhold Messner had climbed most of the hardest routes in the Dolomites and Western Alps by the age of 20. In the succeeding years he climbed all fourteen 8,000-meter peaks, most solo and without supplemental oxygen. He has written more than a dozen books on his adventures, including Everest, The Crystal Horizon, Free Spirit, Antarctica, and All 14 Eight-Thousanders.
