3.0 out of 5 stars Messner is the King of the Mountains, December 6, 2005

By	TJ Burr "TJ" (High Country) - See all my reviews

Hail to the king of the mountaineers! Read about Messner's climb of K2 without oxygen - an amazing feat even for today's best-conditioned climbers. I'm continually amazed of Reinhold's incredible fitness and knack for survival. He survived so many adventures in some of the world's toughest places. Lance Armstrong is a super human cyclist, and Reinhold Messner is a super human mountaineer. The greatest thing about his success is that he survived all of his epic climbs. It is a 3-4 star book, but a 5-plus star adventure.
For another book with tales of adventure on a more "recreational" scale, try "Rocky Mountain Adventure Collection."

Note to Amazon: You may delete my other, older review if you would like to.

Hail to the king of the mountaineers! Read about Messner's climb of K2 without oxygen - an amazing feat even for today's best conditioned climbers. For another book with tales of adventure on a slightly smaller scale, try "Rocky Mountain Adventure Collection."
