(ANSA) - BOLZANO, 09 JUN - "The discovery of my brother Günther's second ski boot on the Diamir side of NangaParbat is only confirmation of the confirmation and of what I have always said".
Reinhold Messner, accused at the time by some mountaineers of having abandoned his brother on the 8000m peaks, says this to ANSA, while he has always maintained that Günther was overwhelmed by an avalanche on the Diamir side.
"Now the glacier has also returned the second boot. I am inpace with myself and with the whole affair, the conspirators will always be there, but that doesn't matter", added Messner.
