Synopsis

Messner was the first person to climb all 14 of the world's highest mountains and it took him 16 years to do it. Modern equipment and travel mean that it is now possible to climb several peaks in one season, but only four more names have been added to the list since Messner's completion in 1986. This guide looks at the quest to climb all 14 of the world's highest mountains.
