| | THE FIRST ASCENT OF NAPES NEEDLE |
| | The task of finding anything either new or interesting to say on the subject of the Napes Needle is one which is vastly easier for a light-hearted editor to set than for an unhappy contributor to perform. | | | Many capable climbers were afterwards turned back when trying to make the second ascent not by the sensational upper part but by this lower and (under present conditions) very simple piece. | | | From the top of the crack there is no trouble to reach the shoulder, whence the final stage may be studied at ease. |

| | Sometime between 1 and 2 in the afternoon on May 8, 1978, Messner and Habeler achieved what was believed to be impossible—the first ascent of Mt. Everest without oxygen. | | | But all of these climbers had relied on bottled oxygen to achieve their high-altitude feats. | | | Messner testified into his tape recorder that, "breathing becomes such a serious business we scarcely have strength to go on." He described feeling like his mind was dead—and that it was only his soul that compelled him to crawl forward. |
