messner talks at the american alpine club and conrad anker asks the first question about the compressor route on cerro torre

"- cerro torre was not climbed in 1959."
"- in the second ascent -compressor 1974- he (maestri) showed that he did'nt climb it for the first time."
"- this kennedy is a very good climber."
"- i would say to young people: if you like to be into an experience, strong personal experiences, go where nobody else is going, don't leave any trace (just your foot prints, but then the wind will destroyed them) and wilderness will be there for ever."
