olyclimber Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 and actually, I think Hermann Buhl - Nanga Parbat Pilgrimage is one of the best mountaineering books i've read. If you look up "badass" in the dictionary, it says "Hermann Buhl". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
