Willy Merkl was a German mountain climber who is most notable for his attempt to lead a German-American team up Nanga Parbat in the Himalayas in 1932. His team were known to be very experienced in Alpine and European mountain expeditions. Merkl and Betchold had also climbed in the Caucasus in 1929. However, they were unprepared for the trials of the Himalayas. Despite being forced to turn back, the team did make excellent progress and found a way through the Rakhiot Peak and the main ridge.
