Creativity and innovation characterise the life of Reinhold Messner. His mountaineering achievements revolutionised Alpinism. His adventures reflect success and defeat at the limit of the possible.
In Monaco Reinhold Messner, who continually takes personal risks on his expeditions, will recall some situations of high risk and successful risk management when pushing back frontiers in the world's remotest places. For him, failure is a building block on the way to success and it often takes him years to reach his goal.
Reinhold Messner centres his life around doing, which unlike having is never boring. To the accompaniment of pictures, he will take you into the most hostile of deserts. These places show you that in critical moments it is solely the individual that counts, with his powers of persuasion and spirit, breaking down all entrenched behaviour patterns. It is mental strength that enables us to keep going, while enthusiasm and determination to survive give us the motivation to tackle the ambitious goals we set ourselves time and time again.
