	NOVA Online \| Everest \| First Without Oxygen
		Habeler had begun to reconsider the use of oxygen, but Messner remained steadfast, declaring that he would not use oxygen—nor climb with anyone who was using it.
		Messner and Habeler had agreed on carrying two oxygen cylinders to Camp IV, in case of an emergency, and had also made a pact to turn back if either person lost his coordination or speech.
		Habeler complained of a headache and double vision on the climb up, but felt better after resting, even though both men frequently woke up from their naps gasping for air.

	PETER HABELER BIOGRAPHY
		Born in Maryhofen in the Austrian Tyrol in 1942, he took up climbing at the age of six, and the time he was 21 had become a certified mountain guide and skiing instructor.
		In the mid-1960s, Habeler began a fruitful climbing partnership with Reinhold Messner.
		In spring 2000, Peter returned to Mount Everest a second time, climbing together with the Mountain Madness team, though he never made it to the summit due to fluid in his lungs.

		On May 8, 1978, Peter Habeler and Reinhold Messner vanquished Mount Everest without breathing apparatus: an incomparable achievement, as the peak of Mount Everest, 8.848 meters high, lies far beyond the boundaries of the death zone, the area in which life is no longer possible.
		In 1969 Peter Habeler, together with Reinhold Messner, began a new form of alpinism with less technical expenditure and with lighter equipment.
		Besides his passion for extreme mountain climbing, Peter Habeler is also a recognized skiing and Alpine pedagogue.

	Reinhold Messner Summary

		Habeler was considering using oxygen, but Messner said he would not use it and in addition would not climb with anyone who did, because he wanted to set a record for climbing as high as possible without it.
		Habeler later was quoted in Outthere.com as writing that Messner's "face was contorted in a grimace, his mouth wide open while he gasped panting for air...

		But after he and Habeler succeeded, anyone with designs on staying at the top of the heap had no choice but to attack the highest mountains in the world by what Messner had pointedly termed "climbing by fair means."
		Thirty minutes from the summit of Broad Peak, Peter began to show symptoms of pulmonary edema--that mysterious, unpredictable malady of high altitude that fills the lungs with fluid, and in its worst manifestations literally drowns its victim.
		Looking across at the northwest ridge of Gasherbrum IV on our way to Broad Peak, Peter and I had spoken excitedly about what a coup it would be to make a first ascent of the Gasherbrum route.

	REINHOLD MESSNER BIOGRAPHY
		Reinhold Messner: "As far as the public is concerned, since 1978 my sensational climbs - Everest without oxygen and Nanga Parbat solo - are unsurpassable." Messner himself consider the traverse between Gasherbrum I and II with Hans Kammerlander in 1984 to be his supreme Himalayan achievement.
		In 1975 he and Peter Habeler made a statement that they were going to attack an 8,000 metre mountain in the same manners as done in the Alps.
		Reinhold declared what he meant as alpine style: the start of the climb is done from the bottom of the mountain and you carry all the gears with you on the way, if any bivouacs, they will be found on the way.

		As a man's accomplishment is diminished by the equal feats of others, he has to knock them down.
		On May 8, 1978, a Reinhold Messner and partner Peter Habeler were the first to climb Everest without oxygen.
		So when Messner and Habeler made it to the top without gas, many proudly called it "the first true ascent of Everest." And the distinction of not using oxygen became a dividing line between the haves and the have-nots, an extra source of human pride.
