Hermann Buhl is arguably one of the most inspiring mountaineers of all times. At a time where the mountains still represented many unknowns for Human Kind, Buhl pushed the limits known to man and himself by being the first man ever — in modern registries — to ascend solo above 8000 meters.
This book follows his journey through mountaineering, from the earlier years all the way to his retirement. It shows that mental strength, motivation, technical knowledge and superb physical conditioning are needed to perform at the highest level, still for todays standards.
