Mythos Cerro Torre: Reinhold Messner auf Spurensuche (2019)
In 1959, Cesare Maestri and Toni Egger are said to have been the first to climb the more than 3,000-metre-high granite needle of Cerro Torre. Egger had a fatal accident on the descent and Maestri was unable to prove that they had reached the summit. Reinhold Messner searches for the truth in this documentary.
Directors: Reinhold Messner, Thomas Dirnhofer.
