He has also been drinking

you are today – 74 years – even as an adventurer?
Yes, because I also Write adventurers am. In the last few years I've tried a couple of characters from the adventurers of the world, the lost, and to forget wrongs.

Frank Wild, for example. He was the Deputy of the polar Explorer Ernest Shackleton. Why is he Wild, the focus of presentation ""?
far and wide, people spoke of Shackleton, the great warhorses that would have saved his people. In reality, Frank has done the Wild. Shackleton had already gone on his first Expedition, the whole team on the wall.

you have visited the uninhabited Antarctic island, Elephant Island, where Frank sat Wild in 1916, with 21 people stranded and four months. What it has done to you?
it was Only after I had Elephant visited Iceland, I could feel myself in these people. To learn what had happened because really, I had to read Shackleton's books. With time, it became clear to me that the empathetic, life-saving man was Frank Wild, who had been catapulted never in a position of leadership.

In Zurich, told Messner of a hero who was in front of him in the Arctic: Reinhold Messner on the Arctic Expedition in 1995. Image: archive Messner/zvg

How did an adventurer of that time the hardships compensated?
He has also been drinking. Shackleton was a handsome, tall and broad-shouldered man. He was not only good with women but also with sponsors, and was a brilliant narrator. He risked very much, which has earned him great respect. However, the modest Wild is a much more experienced polar explorers as Shackleton.

How do you even deal with the mental and physical Stress?
I can be very controlling and in the assessment of other very hard, but on the outside I am able to endure much and to calm down. Because I know We have no Chance. If it comes in the Wilderness to a dispute, the failure of the Expedition. I had a fight during my expeditions never.

Different topic: Where do you feel personally as a resident of the South Tyrolean mountains and wine grower is the climate change?
We feel him here, either positively or negatively. I build the wine is higher today than in the past. We are now at the top. But climate change also has negative consequences. Until Recently, in South Tyrol, in my neighborhood, there's never a storm recently. He has ripped 150-year-old trees including the roots out! I live in the middle of the mountains in a castle 1000 meters above sea level. Here I am exposed to these adverse weather conditions more than others.

"Where is my castle, was 20,000 years ago a glacier."Reinhold Messner

are you hopeful that humanity will eventually recognize the signs of the times?
Not as long as Trump reigns in America. And similar folks in other countries.

Why do so many people still argue the climate change?
The American President makes it so. Climate change, however, is nothing New. 500 years ago the temperatures went down pretty fast, even 200 years ago, it was suddenly colder. The fear of the inhabitants of the Alps was much greater than today, because the glaciers came down from the mountain. In the year 1800, the state of the glacier in Solda / Sulden on the edge of the village. He could have shot the whole place. Where my castle stands, was 20,000 years ago a glacier. He should come back, he takes my castle and leave it in the gravel and disappear. But at the Moment the temperature goes galloping to the top, and we humans are contributing significantly to this warming.

How dangerous life in the valleys the people in the Alps?
It is definitely dangerous. It is not only the disappearance of Glaciers, the increasing. Under the glaciers, huge lakes lie to the part. When the glaciers are melted, break down the dams and streams to the valley. The Permafrost walls is a layer of clay between the rock. He should disappear, then pieces of slides as large as skyscrapers in the valleys.

some of the famous walls of ice, there is supposedly a new mountain-climbing ambition: the first ascent, but to make the final ascent.
Yes, before everything breaks down. But this Eisgeher are only where the bottom is a Parking lot and a road is going. Reporting on the environmental problems in the Alps is completely wrong. You have not understood that where there is no infrastructure, no human being is. Only a Messner. And this is the biggest part of the mountains. Only when I build an infrastructure that begins the destruction of the environment. Unfortunately, people have developed many mountains to in the last corner.

the tragic story of The ascent of Nanga Parbat in 1970 came a few years ago as a feature film filmed: "Nanga Parbat". Video: YouTube/SALEWA outdoor

you are currently planning a mountain Museum in Nepal, Reinhold Messner Foundation, with the help of which they built last year, the earthquake destroyed the clinic in Nepal new, you want to give up. Why?
With my 75. Birthday, Yes. I have not made this Foundation for me, but for the mountain people. At my age, I no longer have the strength, to make films that lead to museums, and to make training. I, too, must sooner or later put back. And the Foundation is the First.

"In Nepal, I have seen a few mountains
I dare maybe."Reinhold Messner

do you find it easy to let go of?
Without any problems. I'm going to continue to focus on the few things I can do well. I've done that for a lifetime. But the resolution of my dreams and therefore my Person begins. I would be struck with stupidity, if I'd say no.

How often do you go climbing?
I go to climbing and the mountains. In Nepal I've seen a couple of mountains, I dare maybe. I just go into the mountains – always, always deeper.

you Could Mount Everest, as he is now prepared, with your 74 years.
Yes, but it would be for me a shame to do that on the slopes. The Mount Everest is prepared all year to get stuff up there. As long as the media don't make it outwardly clear that this is not mountaineering, but something completely different, it will go on and on.
