The Crystal Horizon by Reinhold Messner
On August 20, 1980, Reinhold Messner, the world-renowned master of alpine-style climbing, became the first person to reach the summit of Everest solo and without supplemental oxygen. This title reflects on how he explored his innermost thoughts while facing the extreme physical challenge he had ever encountered.
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.
