Ernst Reiss

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ernst Reiss (born February 24, 1920 in Davos, d. 3 August 2010, Basel) was a swiss mountaineer, who together with Fritz Luchsinger was the first to climb Lhotse, the fourth highest mountain on earth in 1956.

On May 18, 1956, Reiss and Luchsinger successfully climbed the 8516 meter-high Lhotse, fourth highest mountain on earth. Lhotse is connected to Mount Everest via the South Col on the border of Tibet and Nepal.

Reiss was a member of the 1956 Swiss Everest-Lhotse expedition. At the end of April and start of May the expedition erected some high camps. From the last high camp at the "epron de Geneve" on May 18, Luchsinger and Reiss climbed the summit of Lhotse mountain. Their colleagues Ernst Schmied and J�rg Marmet were successful on May 23 and one day later D�lf Reist and Hansruedi von Gunten made the second and third climb on Mount Everest.

Reiss died in Basel, Switzerland, on 3 August 2010, aged 90.
