Reinhold Messner
Born in 1944 in South Tyrol, Italy, Reinhold Messner is widely regarded as the greatest mountaineer in history. He made the first ascent of Everest without supplementary oxygen (1978, with Habeler), the first solo ascent of Everest (1980), and was the first to climb all fourteen 8,000-meter peaks without oxygen (completed 1986). He also crossed Antarctica, Greenland, and the Gobi Desert on foot, authored over 80 books, served as a European Parliament member, and founded the Messner Mountain Museum.
