Mountaineering federation to honour Reinhold Messner
The International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation (UIAA) will honour a local hero when it holds its 2016 general assembly in Brixen in South Tyrol, Italy, on October 15. The organisation will confer honorary membership on the host city’s most famous inhabitant, Reinhold Messner.

Mr Messner’s achievements include completing the first ascent of Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen and being the first climber to ascend all fourteen peaks over 8,000 metres.

The UIAA’s general assembly will take place as part of the eighth International Mountain Summit event, which will run in Brixen from October 10-16.
