Autor

Austrian mountaineer Kurt Diemberger is a member of an extremely select club - he is one of only two climbers alive to have made the first ascent of two of the world's 8,000-metre peaks, Broad Peak in 1957 and Dhaulagiri in 1960. Diemberger is also an accomplished filmmaker and writer - he is one of the top high-altitude filmmakers in the world and his books have enjoyed popularity around the globe. He is now recognised as one of the finest chroniclers of the contemporary mountain scene, with his writing guaranteed to enlighten, move and entertain. In 2013, Diemberger was awarded the Piolets d'Or lifetime achievement award.
