Talking about Diemberger's Mont Blanc documentary from 1962.
A famous quote from Diemberger is: Diemberger liked to klimb slowly to enjoy landscape and the mountain. So he said to his companion Franz Lindner: "Geh' nicht so schnell, sonst ist es gleich vorbei" ("Do not go that fast otherwise it will be over soon").
Another famous part of the documentary is that Diemberger and Lindner stayed for one additional day on the mountain because weather was so beautiful and Diemberger liked to enjoy the scenery and the weather. Can you imagine to do that today?
And one more famous scene in the documentary (about minute 18:20) it is shown how to use a climbers ladder. Well, Diemberger explained that the ladder was not necessary, but they liked to demonstrate the usage.
Kurt Diemberger continued to live dub the documentary he made in 1962: KURT DIEMBERGER - Monte Bianco - La grande cresta di Peuterey - 1962 (Italian). It is awesome to listen to Kurt Diemberger. If there is an occasion - go to a talk of the legend!
