Markus Kronthaler (April 5, 1967 – July 8, 2006) was an Austrian gendarme and mountaineer. Kronthaler was born in Kufstein, Tyrol. He was an officer in the alpine section of Austria's Gendarmerie, which he left in 2003 to become a professional climber. Surviving a free fall of 150 meters (450 ft) into snow in January 2006, Kronthaler led a new expedition to Chogolisa and Broad Peak, Pakistan, in May 2006. He died of exhaustion on Broad Peak after reaching the summit on July 8. His body was left on the mountain. In the summer of 2007, an Austrian mountaineering team climbed Broad Peak to retrieve Kronthaler's corpse, which was brought to Austria and cremated.〔(Markus Kronthaler - an appreciation from a brother to a brother )〕 This was the highest ever body recovery from a mountain.〔(Highest-Altitude Body Recovery In History )〕 His urn was buried in Kufstein. == Expeditions == * 2000: Shisha Pangma (8013 m), Himalaya, Tibet – Gendarmerie-Mountain Guides-Expedition * 2002: Ama Dablam (6856 m), Himalaya, Nepal * 2004: Muztagata (7546 m), Pamir, China * 2004: Nanga Parbat (8125), Kashmir, Pakistan – „Nanga Parbat - Edelweissexpedition 2004“ * 2006: Broad Peak (8047 m) and Chogolisa (7665 m), Karakoram, Pakistan 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Markus Kronthaler」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
