Translated by computer from the Huber website:

Thomas and Alexander Huber, the Huber Brothers, are among the MOST successful climbers of our time. Expeditions, free climbing on Big walls, the eleventh grade, free solo climbing and speed - the two are not specialists, but specia all-rounders. The book shows the most spectacular actions, from its beginnings to the speed climbing record, richly illustrated with pictures by the legendary Heinz Zak.
