Mount Fitz Roy: Die Qualität des nächsten Schrittes [Mount Fitz Roy: The Quality of the Next Step]

Bubendorfer is one of the world’s foremost free solo climbers, climbing alone and without the aid of a rope or protection, an accomplished author and speaker. By age 21, he had set an unprecedented 30 first solo ascents, speed solo climbing records and ‘youth records’ in Austria, Switzerland, Italy, and France. His most famous climb is his epic and unchallenged ‘free solo’ of the notorious Eiger in 4 hours 50 minutes. In 1986, at age 23, Bubendorfer climbed one of the hardest mountains on the planet, Mount Fitz Roy in Patagonia, in an epic 23-hour, non-stop, solo. The success of this unique and unsupported expedition triggered off intensive media coverage and television portraits in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy. This book is an account of that expedition. In German, no English translation.
