Fifty years ago, a Styrian expedition led by Graz-based Himalayan pioneer Hanns Schell succeeded in making the third ascent of Gasherbrum I, also known as Hidden Peak. Hans-Robert Schauer filmed the expedition with his 8mm camera, capturing the first steps on the world’s highest mountains. Incidentally, Urdok I (7,300 m) was also climbed for the first time before a team of four set off for the 8,068 m summit of Hidden Peak. Finally, Herbert Zefferer from Schladming, Hanns Schell and Hans-Robert Schauer with his Super 8 camera stood at the destination of their dreams and looked out over the surrounding peaks.
The original expedition documentation, which was created in 2005, will be shown.
