Ich habe die Wolken von oben und unten gesehen

The weather whisperer Some call him a fair weather guru, others their storm prophet, and hardly anyone goes to the highest mountains in the world without his advice: Karl Gabl is the meteorologist on whose forecasts extreme mountaineers worldwide rely. But who is behind the well-known weather face? With this book, Karl Gabl himself is finally in the centre of interest for the first time. Humorous and enigmatic, entertaining and witty, he tells of his life as a mountaineer, which has taken him to almost fifty peaks above 5000 metres, and which as a meteorologist still allows him to experience spectacular first ascents all over the world. Gabl remembers the pranks of his childhood in St. Anton and the formative time in the Jesuit boarding school Stella Matutina in Feldkirch. He tells about his mountaineering beginnings and about his deaths.
