The UMCA exhibition is to honor and widely share the achievements and spirit of Reinhold Messner(1944-), who is recognized as “one of the greatest mountaineers” in history. The exhibition is to introduce Messner’s life as an alpinist and adventurer who has overcome extreme challenges beyond human limits, such as the first ascent of Mount Everest without supplementary oxygen, the first ascents of all 14 eight-thousanders without supplementary oxygen, the first cross of Antarctica and Greenland without snowmobiles nor dog sleds. He valued taking on new challenges in his own way rather than climbing itself, and maintained the traditional alpine-style. Messner is also an author who has written more than 80 books about his vivid experiences and mountain culture, and the exhibition presents various books translated and published into Korean. It also introduces “Reinhold Messner Stiftung “, “Messner Mountain Museums(MMM)” and “Reinhold Messner Horizonte”, which were established and are being operated based on his philosophy and vision. His deep insight into humanity and nature learned by surviving extreme circumstances will truly resonate with many people living in the chaotic times of critical climate change and political conflict.
GUEST
Reinhold Messner
Reinhold Messner(81) is “one of the greatest mountaineers” in history and an adventurer from South Tyrol, Italy. He imagined and personally carried out countless climbs beyond human limits such as the first ascent of Mount Everest without supplementary oxygen and the first ascents of all 14 eight-thousanders without supplementary oxygen, He also first crossed Antarctica and Greenland without snowmobiles nor dog sleds, and crossed the Gobi Desert alone, expanding the horizons of adventure and exploration over vertical world to the horizontal one.
Messner’s mountain culture achievements are also unparalleled. He has written more than 80 books on climbing and exploration. His books were translated into scores of languages, including Korean, and conveyed his thoughts, experiences, emotions to countless people. Messner also produced films based on climbing and exploration, established and operates six “Messner Mountain Museums(MMM)”, and launched the "Reinhold Messner Stiftung" to support the inhabitants of great range area. He has also given many lectures and has communicated with the public around the world, explaining the value of traditional mountaineering.
As a mountaineer, Messner not only achieved superhuman records, but also made unrivaled achievements that widely explained the status of mountaineers to the general public and expanded the horizons of mountain culture. His deep insight into humanity and nature, learned through surviving extreme circumstances between life and death, will clearly resonate with us in these chaotic times.
