Günther Messner

Multisport and Endurance Sports

Günther Messner was an Italian mountaineer from South Tyrol and the younger brother of Reinhold Messner. He lived from 18 May 1946 to 29 June 1970. He climbed some of the most difficult routes in the Alps during the 1960s, and he joined the 1970 Nanga Parbat expedition just before it began, because an opening arose within the team. The opening paragraph of the article that this entry rests on gives only these facts, so no particular routes are named here.
