Nanga Parbat First Solo Ascent - Reinhold Messner On Nanga Parbat Summit August 9 1978
What is adventure?
In this short documentary interview with Reinhold Messner he explains his view on adventure, he explains - when you are exploring where you are far from human civilization or rescue support. It is less about the 7 highest summits to climb in the world, and more about remote locations where you go to self-survive the nature because in nature is danger and the art of surviving it is where adventure lives.
Reinhold Messner is a mountaineer, adventurer, explorer, and author from the Italian autonomous province of South Tyrol. [Wikipedia] He became famous as a lumberjack style mountaineer who chose to climb 14 8000 meter + peaks like Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen. On December 30, 1989, Messner crossed Antarctica to the South Pole on skis with his partner Arved Fuchs. He speaks of the dangers of exploring, where nature and you meet face-to-face and surviving those conditions while exploring is the simple definition of what adventure means to him.
What is controversial about "World First Expeditions?" Even Reinhold Messner refutes the importance of completing the First/8000+ meter summits, while including the 7 Summits in his interview, lesser mountain First Ascents 6000+ meter peaks still remain - So, I ask the same question what is adventure? Messner suggests it's going places on your own remote from civilization, local support or chance of rescue and surviving all the inherent dangers that can occur in nature - alone. Nearing the human limits, this is definitely where adventure can end a journey to the soul. Few will ever risk their lives to experience this first hand.
[Authors notes] Reinhold Messner is acclaimed as one of the greatest mountaineers of all time. He was the first person to climb all 14 8,000-meter peaks—the tallest mountains in the world—and one of the first to climb Mount Everest without any supplemental oxygen. Hear Messner recount what it was like to climb Everest and what drives his passion for adventure.[National Geographic]

A TransAm bicycle tour // Recumbent cycling through Wyoming USA // Adventure Cycling in America // Deserts of China // The Himalayas on tour //
Cycle touring across the Taklamakan Desert in 2011 [Perich travels, Korean-World]. This tour was awesome, I started on the slow boat to China from South Korea. And continuing from Beijing, I took a train to Urumqi in northwest China [Turkestan] and cycled the deserts first along the southern Silk Road before entering the Aksai Chin and returning to Kashgar. I continued my trek through Sichuan (western Tibet) and Yunnan Provinces via Chengdu, Kangding, Xicheng, Lugu Lake, Lijiang, Deqin. 3200 kilometers or 2000 miles later, I lost 53 pounds (24 kilograms) preparing and riding the tour. [Video from HimalayasX2011]
I discovered some great cycle touring video collections, this one covers the Trans American route across Wyoming, United States and seeing the scenery reminds me of motorcycling there 1994-1996.
[Authors notes:] I rode my bicycle self supported across the USA in the summer of 2011. This is a little video series that highlights parts of my trip.
Adventure Cycling Association just published this great short film on bicycle touring the American TransAm route. Videos like this are inspiration to go out and ride anywhere. [Authors notes:]With the incomparable Madison Range as a backdrop, cyclists explore the backroads, farmer's markets, and small towns of Big Sky Country using pedal power alone.
