Yes thanks. I agree with Messner about the best Everest route and the yeti being a nocturnal bear.

Nice find Scott!

Thanks for sharing it with us.

I have always appreciated Messner's clarity of purpose and deep commitment to style.

More classic Reinhold here...

Bolts acknowledge the impossible. Each clip of the bolt is a bow to the free soloist.

Messner and his ilk murder the impossible by performing the impossible, making it no longer impossible.
