concludes with extracts from Reinhold Messner’s account of his ascent with two companions of the Ortler, made perilous by the instability which has resulted from global warming. Gundolf Graml’s account of the six Messner Mountain Museums forms a fitting epilogue. In one sense monuments to Messner’s own career, they also reflect Messner’s concern for the environment, for they offer the mountain experience without encroaching on the mountains themselves. They exemplify in some way Messner’s Verzichtsalpinimus (alpinism of renunciation), a minimalism that led him to climb Everest alone and without additional oxygen and to eulogize the mountains as wildernesses and a refuge from modern civilization. As even Everest becomes overcrowded with expeditions queuing for the summit and littering the slopes with rubbish, Messner’s reflections on the deleterious impact of the sport that he has done so much to promote are timely. They conclude an excellent thought-provoking volume which deserves a wide audience.

最后以 Reinhold Messner 对他与 Ortler 的两个同伴的描述摘录，由于全球变暖导致的不稳定性而变得危险。Gundolf Graml 对六个梅斯纳山博物馆的描述形成了一个恰当的结语。从某种意义上说，它们是梅斯纳自己职业生涯的纪念碑，也反映了梅斯纳对环境的关注，因为它们提供了山地体验，而不会侵占山脉本身。它们以某种方式体现了 Messner 的 Verzichtsalpinimus（放弃登山运动），这种极简主义使他独自攀登珠穆朗玛峰，无需额外的氧气，并将山脉颂扬为荒野和现代文明的避难所。就连珠穆朗玛峰也变得人满为患，探险队排队登顶，山坡上到处乱扔垃圾，梅斯纳对这项运动的有害影响的反思是及时的。他们总结了一本发人深省的优秀作品，值得广大观众。
