SIGNED by Reinhold Messner.
This book by Messner is a biography of Guido Lammer who was the greatest German-speaking climber of the 19th century. He was particularly drawn to dangerous rock and ice, where he had success with important new routes, many of them solo. The essence of his many faceted interests and development was to search out extreme danger and survive.
