My Favorite Austrian Mountaineer

You want a history lesson? Chapter one. Peter Aufschnaiter (2 November 1899 – 12 October 1973). What a cool guy. I don't feel like I could write much to do his sweet life justice. I just wanted to make anyone I could aware of his life and what he did. Read up on the man,  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Aufschnaiter . Well if you around me and spend some time with me hopefully you'll catch me making a sweet Peter Aufschnaiter reference in the midst of normal conversation. I just here to make people accountable for the life he led.
And make sure you pick up a copy of his book, entitled, "Peter Aufschnaiter's Eight Years in Tibet." Great read, http://www.amazon.com/Peter-Aufschnaiters-Eight-Years-Tibet/dp/9745240125
