Reinhold Messner: “Found my brother’s other boot”

52 years after the death of Gunther Messner, overwhelmed by an avalanche, during an expedition with his brother Reinhold on Nanga Parbat, the mountain has also returned the second boot of the South Tyrolean mountaineer. Reinhold Messner announces it on social media by posting a photo of the boot. “Last week, my brother Gunther’s second shoe was found at the foot of the Diamir Glacier by locals. Fifty-two years later.” In 2005, Gunther’s remains were found along with the other boot. The famous mountaineer at the time had returned to Nanga Parbat to cremate the remains of his brother. “They called me a fratricide for the envy of fame and money. It is a real crime – Messner said at the time -. The discovery of the remains and a boot show without a shadow of a doubt that Gunther died during the descent. and it was not abandoned by me on the way up “.
