Alpinist‘s Digital Editor Chris Van Leuven sits down with legendary alpinist Reinhold Messner on February 2, 2015, before attending The American Alpine Club Annual Benefit Dinner in New York City, to talk about rock climbing, high-altitude climbing, Messner’s castle and mountaineering museum, and his well-known climbing partner Peter Habeler.
