Former German biathlon star and experienced mountaineering Laura Dahlmeier31, on Monday it was in a serious climbing accident when a stone horn hit him at a height of about 5,700 meters by Laila Pakistan in the Karakorum Mountains of Pakistan.
The case has raised widespread concern in the sports world. Also one of the world’s most famous mountaineers, Reinhold Messnerhas followed the events closely and commented on the situation for several media.
80-year-old Messner, known as, among other things, for the first Mount Everest peak without additional oxygen, said SPORT1 and Weltin In the interview, he knows the Laila Peak area well.
– Laila Peak is stunning and beautiful, but also damn dangerous. Those climbing on such a mountain must know that the risk of death is never zero, Messner described to Welt.
He emphasized that although the peak is not the highest in the area, it is exceptionally steep and technically challenging to climb. According to Messner, Dahlmeier’s skills would have been enough.
“As far as I know his background, he would have had all the abilities to climb it along the demanding route,” Messner said.
Messner also pointed out to increase climate change about the dangers in the mountains.
– Stone lumps have become more common with global warming. The stones are becoming more and more loose and becoming a rain. If you happen to be below, the survival options are low, he told Sport1.
The story goes on after the picture.

Dahlmeier was searched on Tuesday, but bad weather and fog prevented a rescue helicopter from entering the scene of the accident. Messner hopes that the weather will be brightened on Wednesday and that rescuers will be able to get to Dahlmeier in time.
– We all live with him in this situation. He is not only a unique biathlete, but also a top -notch mountain climber.
Finally, Messner reminded of the ruthlessness of nature.
– Nature is ruthless. If the stone falls from somewhere and happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, there is no way to survive, he said seriously.
– But we must everyone hope that Dahlmeier will last and that he can be picked up tomorrow with a helicopter.
