Free Spirit by Reinhold Messner
* A mountaineering classic re-released in the Legends and Lore series
* Two new chapters In Free Spirit Reinhold Messner describes the forces and events that have shaped him as a climber as famous for his discipline as for his innovative spirit. Messner evolved his philosophy of the single free-climbing line with its uncompromising purity of style in the Dolomites and, as equipment and technique developed, he was in the forefront of the transference of fast lightweight alpine methods to the great ranges. Here, he takes us from the days of his first climb (at the age of five) with his father to his brother's tragic death on Nanga Parbat in 1970 to his later move away from the overcrowded Alps and 8000-meter peaks. He sought fulfillment, instead, in new challenges in lesser known parts of the world, such as crossing the expanse of Antarctica. Free Spirit is an exciting account of the career of a mountain pioneer. This title is part of our LEGENDS AND LORE series. Click here > to learn more.
Messner, Reinhold: - Reinhold Messner is indisputably the greatest climber of the 20th century: first to ascend Everest without using supplemental oxygen (with partner Peter Habeler), first to climb Everest solo, and the first person to climb all fourteen of the 8000meter peaks without supplemental oxygen. This multi-dimensional adventurer has been a member of the European Parliament, established a half-dozen mountain museums scattered throughout the Alps, and is the author of more than 30 books, many published by Mountaineers Books. Messner lives in South Tyrol, Italy, and maintains a website at www.reinholdmessner.de.
