Top climber on brief lecture tour
A man who has scaled Mount Everest twice without oxygen (the last time solo) is to visit New Zealand on a short lecture tour this week to help celebrate the 100th anniversary of the first attempt on Mount Cook by the Rev. W. Green. He is Reinhold Messner, a native of South, Tyrol in Austria, considered to be the greatest mountaineer of all time and a strong advocate of minimal use of sophisticated equipment in climbing. . Mr Messner, accompanied by his wife and his agent, Mr H. Fechter, is being sponsored to New Zealand by Mount Cook Line and Alpine Guides (Mt Cook), Ltd. He will give a lecture in the Christchurch Town Hall on Sunday night.
