Description
On 20 August 1980, Reinhold Messner made history by becoming the first person to reach the summit of Everest alone and without oxygen. This remarkable achievement is documented in his account of that journey.
Messner's story takes him through Tibet, where he reflects on the experiences of mountaineers who came before him, including Mallory, Irvine, and Wilson. His solo ascent is a testament to human determination and perseverance.
