“They were decent,” he said. “They were strong. And they failed in the most beautiful way you can imagine.” - Reinhold Messner, the famed mountain climber, praising the members of a doomed 1953 trek to climb K-2. Charles S. Houston, one of the members of that expedition, passed away this week. (NY Times)

Mountaineering legend Reinhold Messner mourned the passing of Compagnoni, who along with climber Lino Lacedelli, successfully climbed the second-highest mountain in the world on July 31, 1954, the Italian news agency,...

Scream of Stone is a weird, uncharacteristic feature from Werner Herzog, a minor footnote in the director's long and prolific career. The story is perfect for Herzog, a tale of two competing mountain climbers adapted from an idea given to Herzog by real-life climber Reinhold Messner. Messner was himself the unforgettable subject of Herzog's 1985 documentary The Dark Glow of the Mountains , a chronicle...

The warrior is strapping on his armour for another bout. Reinhold Messner, 64, is probably the most famous as well as the greatest mountaineer of all time: the first man to climb Mount Everest solo without oxygen, the first to climb all the world's 14 peaks over 8,000 metres, he accomplished feats the best of his rivals quailed to think of.

Reinhold Messner would pass unnoticed on a British high street; but set him loose anywhere in central Europe and he'd almost certainly be mobbed. This isn't the simple question of national identity it may first appear. Yes, Messner is from the South Tyrol, the German-speaking outpost of northern Italy and, yes, we Brits are notoriously immune to the achievements of foreigners, but the real issue is...
