Michael Dacher
Michael Dacher (21 August 1933 – 3 December 1994) was a German mountaineer and extreme climber. In 1979 he and Reinhold Messner climbed the K2 in record time and without oxygen equipment.[1]
A primary school in Khadambas, a village 80 km east of Kathmandu in Nepal, has been named after him.
Dacher was born in Peiting.
