In his new memoir, Against the Wind, Messner looks back on a life of accomplishments and recounts some of the most important episodes after turning eighty in 2024.   He also addresses darker times and infamous controversies--including being discredited as a young mountaineer, his divorce and remarriage, Guinness stripping him of his world records in 2023, the recent revisions to measurements of 8000-meter summits, and the discovery of his brother Gunther’s remains on Nanga Parbat.   This new memoir is classic Messner--no apologies, no regrets, and no backing down.","brand":"Mountaineers Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51004065710368,"sku":"9781680518184","price":24.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/against-the-wind-reinhold-messner-9781680518184","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
