Siebter Grad [Seventh Grade]

This is Messner's fifth book and the first with accounts of his early Alpine climbs and training. He advocated the Seventh grade as a natural extension of the Sixth, which used to be the absolute limit of potential climbing. This new edition has more photos than both the original German and English editions. This was published in English in 1974 as ‘The Seventh Grade’. In German. Neate M90.
