“To say that the summit is five or ten meters away is ridiculous”

The conviction of the journalist, which became known last year, provoked the South Tyrolean mountaineer’s indignant response: “That day – he explained – I climbed a 4,000 meter high wall and went out to the summit ridge, because that is where you reach the summit. We must also add: things change in 50 years. The peaks of these mountains are mostly made up of snow and ice that have undergone changes. There is neither a cross nor a sign pointing to the exact point up there, so it is ridiculous to say that the summit is five or ten meters further to the side.
