The ascent of Nanga Parbat in 1970 marked the beginning of Reinhold Messner's remarkable career in Himalayan climbing. But this expedition has always been shrouded in controversy and mystery; his brother Gunther, who accompanied him, met his death on the mountain.
In this compelling account, Messner confronts the tragedy that has haunted him for decades, offering his own perspective on what happened during those fateful days on one of the world's most dangerous peaks.
