Georg Winkler

Georg Winkler was a climber famed for his solo ascents, which included the Winkler Turme in the Vajolet Towers in 1887, when he was 17 years old. He was killed by an avalanche on the face of the Weisshorn in 1888. The opening paragraph of the article that this entry rests on gives only these facts, so no birth date or nationality is stated here, and the entry says nothing beyond what that paragraph supports about his climbing.
