Messner, the first to climb all 14 of the world’s 8000m peaks (Everest, K2, Kangchenjunga, Lhotse, Makalu, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, Cho Oyu, Nanga Parbat, Annapurna, Gasherbrum I & II, Broad Peak, Shishapangma), describes each of his climbs and his philosophies. Habeler, together with Messner, made the first ascent of Everest without supplemental oxygen. Carsolio is the fourth person to have climbed all 14 8000ers. This is the true first edition! An important book and a good reference source.
