With that first ascent of Annapurna, Herzog crossed the magic border-the Death Zone-of 8,000 meters. The ascent did not go undisputed. During the 50 years since Herzog's ascent, climbing in the highest mountains of the world has changed and developed profoundly. Today it is possible to climb the notorious Annapurna even on the most demanding routes and to survive in the Death Zone beyond 8,000 meters.
