Listen Later

Legendary Alpinist Kurt Diemberger is the last remaining living link to the golden age of first ascents of 8000m peaks in the 1950's and 60's. He is best known for his ascents of Broad Peak in 1957 and Dhaulagiri in 1960. Summits and Secrets concentrates on his early years and his rise in the mountaineering world up to that time, and a bit beyond! WOW!  

There are also a few Youtube interviews of him including his amazing documentaries.
