On 3 July 1953, Hermann Buhl accomplished perhaps the greatest feat in mountaineering history: over 41 hours of frontier crossing, he became the first person to climb an eight-thousand-metre peak solo and without oxygen canisters: Nanga Parbat. Alexander Huber, himself a mountaineering star and a great admirer of Buhl, takes us through the key stages in Buhl's life through exciting reenactments, while also exploring the personal aspects that characterised him as a person and mountaineer.
