Reinhold Messner: Sohn Simon Messner will »es einfach anders machen« als sein Vater

Simon Messner, 36-year-old son of renowned mountaineer Reinhold Messner, has expressed his intention to approach mountaineering differently from his father due to his role as a parent. He stated he wants to focus more on family life rather than adventure, emphasizing his responsibility as a father. Reinhold Messner noted that climbing has become increasingly dangerous due to climate change, citing increased rockfall incidents and the loss of several friends and acquaintances to accidents. Despite this, he admitted there might still be an inner drive to climb again in the future. Simon’s new film 'Aus dem Schatten' premiered at the Munich Film Festival, though he was not entirely satisfied with the title choice.
