Grad, von Albert F. Mummery am Grépon über Emilio Comici und Mathias Rebitsch in den Nordwänden der Großen Zinne und der Lalidererspitze bis zu Alexander Huber in der »Bellavista« an der Westlichen Zinne: eine einmalige Zeitreise durch die faszinierende Welt des Kletterns.

Reinhold Messner (born September 17, 1944) is an Italian mountaineer and explorer from South Tyrol, often cited as the greatest mountain climber of all time. He is renowned for making the first solo ascents of Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen and for being the first climber to ascend all fourteen "eight-thousanders" (peaks over 8,000 metres above sea level). He is the author of at least 63 books (in German, 1970–2006), many of which have been translated into other languages.
