This book describes Reinhold Messner and Peter Habeler's pioneering climb of Everest without the use of bottled oxygen. The climb, made in 1978, marked a turning point for high-altitude mountaineering - it proved it was possible to tackle 8000-meter peaks in alpine style.
First-edition hardcover flat-signed by Reinhold Messner on the title page. With dust jacket in good condition, contained within vinyl. 254 pages, color photographs throughout.
