Re: Messner turns 70
My favorite quote by Reinhold Messner (from Solo Nanga Parbat):
“Loneliness is a force that can kill you if you are unprepared for it, but it will carry you beyond your own horizon if you understand how to use it to your advantage.”
Happy Birthday Reinhold

Re: Messner turns 70
Once I read that Messner trained by running 10 miles every day, so that's what I did, too.
20 miles on weekends.
He was my hero.

Re: Messner turns 70
Reinhold came to LA in 1994 and I got to meet him, I have the photo on my wall. He, in my opinion, is the greatest mountaineer of all time, he cared for the people. He did it in a simpler, better time, and with style and humility. He still looks great.
