NATIONAL PREMIERE

David Göttler has found himself on his first winter expedition (2013/2014) to an eight-thousand-meter peak invited by the older and more experienced climber, Simone Moro. The goal is the Rupal Face of Nanga Parbat, the highest wall in the world. They are traveling expedition-style, installing fixed ropes and setting up high-altitude camps, until David sets out alone and reaches an altitude of 7,200 meters. “That opened my eyes—everything can be done more easily, faster, and more effectively.” Breaking with the traditional style of ascent is David’s first step on his own path.
