Description
GOBI is Reinhold Messner's attempt to understand the world and comprehend it – it is an exceptionally personal book. The climbing legend dared to embark on one last great extreme expedition in his 60s, teetering on the edge between life and death. He is driven by an ancient dream to attempt to cross the Gobi Desert, relying solely on his own strength: alone, completely self-reliant, and without the slightest logistical support. On his 2,000-kilometer journey across the Western Gobi and the Altai Mountains, he experiences an unprecedented boundary experience, both physically and mentally. It is an act of self-determination with an uncertain outcome.
