Messners outlook and approach feels radically different to many climbers but is refreshing vibrant. This sense of self exploration through ‘the adventure’ into the unknown and not necessarily the destination but the very journey takes self exploration for mountaineers to a new level.

I find Bonnigton, Scott & Messner all very inspiring, and Messners spiritual view point encourages me to do more exploration for myself.

Thank you.

Terrific short documentary on a truly great man.

While writing these comments, I have still not watched the movie.  I am of the firm view that whatever will be shown on this would be some thing exceptional because Messener, himself, too, is an exceptional climbing machines.  Credit goes to him for opening chapter of alpine and solo climbing in the Himalayas.  There are lot many climbers who are now following his foot steps, yet the leader will always be a leader.  My head bows for whatever he has achieved in this life.  In true sense, he not only climbed mountains, he has rather completely succeeded in overcoming the extreme mental and physical endurance of a human being.

After completing the above para, when I again went to see the progress of buffering of the film, I find that the current film is currently not available and I can find more videos on video.aol.com. Nevertheless, I will definitely try to find out any thing and every thing about messener’s climbing.
