Description:
Reinhold Messner, with his partner Peter Habeler, was the first to climb Everest without the aid of supplemental oxygen. In this riveting retelling of his climb, Messner says, "Everest by fair means -- that is the human dimension, and chat is what interests me ... In reaching for an 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."
