Detailed Product Description

2008, 1st edition. 224 pages, 200 color photos. DESCRIPTION TRANSLATED BY COMPUTER. BOOK IS IN GERMAN. Large format hardcover.

SIGNED by Reinhold Messner.

Nanga Parbat bears many names: Diamir, 'King of the Mountains', 'destiny Mountain'. More than any other summit in the Himalayas, the climbers in German-speaking countries are attracted to, and have had so many victims. Reinhold Messner tells the chequered history of exploration, 19 Century to our time. First published archival material, historical photographs as spectacular aerial photographs give us this mountain entirely new.

The Diamir is one of the most demanding Eight thousand in the Himalayas. A.F. Mummerys first ascent attempt towards the end of the 19th Century failed, as well as three German expeditions in the 1930s. Only in 1953 was Hermann Buhl, in a 40-hour march of spectacular suffering, able to climb alone to the summit. In 1970 brothers Reinhold Messner and G�nther climbed the Rupal Face for the first time, and while descending the Diamir Face, Guenther Messner was killed under tragic circumstances.

Reinhold Messner returned 1978 and ascended the summit alone 'by fair means' (without oxygen). Since then, the messages from the Diamir never demolished: the debate about the brother who commit new tests, and finally the ascent of Rupal Face by Steve House and Vince Anderson 2005.

In this book tells Reinhold Messner sensing the chronological history of Diamir basis of contemporary quotations and diary records and previously unknown archive material from his private collection. Exceptional, never published photographs of the aerial photograph Pakistani photographer Pervez Khan and atmospheric photographs of the German photographer Stefan Nimmesgern show the mountain in all its beauty and illustrate the difficult routes to the summit.

The elaborately designed BOOK contains three Ausklapptafeln with large views of the mountain and two great-Octavio Ausklapptafeln size 60 x 60 cm. A comprehensive and unique opulent equipped band to the 'King of the Mountains'.

Large format book requires extra postage for Priority Mail or International Mail.
