	HERMANN BUHL BIOGRAPHY
		Hermann Buhl was exceptionally strong with an almost superhuman endurance and will power; this in combination with taking greather risks than most others, Hermann Buhl succeeded where others failed.
		Buhl was suffering badly from the injuries he got on Nanga Partbat and was ascending extremely slowly during the last section, he sent his rope-companion, Kurt Diemberger ahead to catch up with the other rope-team, Wintersteller and Schmuck, they reached the summit together.
		Hermann Buhl was an exeptionally strong climber, a master on rock and an exellent mountaineer.

		The rest is Hermann Buhl's climbing history from his days as a weakling among school mates and a poor man's son, when an irresistible inner urge first drove him to become a frail and youthful climber, making straight from the start for difficult rock in his beloved homeland hills.
		HERMANN BUHL'S momentous ascent of Nanga Parbat in 1953 (after Everest and Annapurna, the third 8000m peak to be climbed) set an agenda for adventurous mountaineers for the rest of the century.
		Buhl, though also a member of a large expedition, with his long and committing solo summit push and painfully slow descent, reminded everyone that mountains could never be conquered - under favourable conditions they might be climbed, but the human spirit was invariably the critical factor.

	HERMANN BUHL AND NANGA PARBAT

		Buhl had the technically most difficult section of the whole climb ahead of him and the last 300 meters didn't look promising.
		Buhl reached the shoulder and one hour later he stood on the summit.

		Herman Buhl was born in Innsbruck in 1924 and grew into one of the finest mountaineers in the world.
		Buhl spent the night without a sleeping bag, tent or warm clothing, leaning against a rock at 26,000 feet, in temperatures of -10 C. By the time he finally staggered into camp, Buhl had been alone on the mountain for more than 40 hours.

		Hermann Buhl is noted in America mostly for his solo first ascent of Nanga Parbat, his first ascent with Kurt Diemberger of Broad Peak and his death a week later on Chogolisa.
		Hermann Buhl the first man to stand atop Nanga Parbat, and legendary for his will to push himself to the lastñwas the mountaineer of the 1950s.
		Had Hermann Buhl been born 40 years later, writes Messner, he would surely have been one of the leading sport climbers, and a classic mountaineer without equal.

		Other important members of the party were Fritz Wintersteller, Kurt Diemberger, climber and photographer and a legendary mountaineer, and Hermann Buhl, who is considered one of the best known postwar Austrian climbers and the first climber to Summit Nanga Parbat.
		It was, however, on June 9th, 1957 that Marcus Schmuck, Fritz Wintersteller, Kurt Diemberger and Hermann Buhl climbed the peak without using oxygen and high altitude porters.
		(Diemberger followed by Buhl, June 27, after turning back when within striking distance of the summit of Chogolisa (7654 m), were groping their way back along the precipitous and heavily corniced S.E. Ridge when suddenly one of the cornices broke off and Buhl plunged to his death).

	BBC NEWS \| World \| South Asia \| Remembering climbing's unsung hero
		After a Herculean 18-hour climb, on July 3, 1953, its Austrian conqueror, Hermann Buhl, legendary for his ability to drive himself through the bleakest of conditions, survived a solitary night just below its summit, staying alive by swallowing stimulant pills to keep awake.
		The trip that led to Buhl's success was to be a memorial climb initiated Dr Karl Herrligkoffer in memory of his stepbrother who was killed on an ill-fated Austro-German expedition in 1934.
		Messner has subsequently co-edited a book of Hermann Buhl's writings from climbing diaries and mountaineering publications, which portray the climber as a mountaineering professional ahead of his time.

	Nanga Parbat 2000
		After 31 people had died on Nanga Parbat, the summit was reached by a single man: Hermann Buhl.
		Herrligkoffer's way of organization and preparation didn't win the trust of the big alpine organizations, and he had difficulties engaging famous climbers; Heckmair and Rebitsch said no. Eventually he found a couple of climbers with Himalaya experience in the Himalayas: Aschenbrenner (a veteran from 1934) and Frauenberger.

		But the mountain, in northern Pakistan, is known as one of the most treacherous climbs in the world and its death toll is testament to this.
		It was his strength and mental stamina - developed by death-defying trips in the Alps and the Himalayas - that let him tell his tale.
		And by seven o'clock that evening - having traversed a three kilometre long plateau, and defied the complexities of the last 300m - Buhl had clawed his way to the summit.
