In 1978, Peter Habeler set out with Reinhold Messner to make mountaineering history. They were the first to reach the summit of Mount Everest, the highest point on earth, without breathing apparatus. The mountain guide and top alpinist was among the European pioneers on the Yosemite big walls, repeated the Buhl routes in Tyrol and the classics of the Western Alps in record times. Now Peter Habeler is due to celebrate his 80th birthday – and the mountains won’t let him go. A captivating portrait of an exceptional mountaineer.
