Please keep this series going. I can’t understand why you don’t have more subscribers at all
Thanks so much. I'd love to keep this going. I have a couple new vids I'll be launching soon as well as about 8 more of these from the archives. Stay tuned.
Digital Stoke Media I can’t. Your channel has made me a much better and smarter climber. There was a show for a couple seasons called “I survived” I think and even with all the money and production team didn’t hold a candle to these tales from the steep.
Well, thanks so much! I am working at producing more content. I hope I can resurrect this series or, a version of it for sure. At the moment, keep an eye out for a new climbing video where I follow, up and coming pro, Molly Mitchell as she climbs her hardest route yet as well as shows us what gives her, the determination and perseverance to succeed.
Digital Stoke Media probably will watch a few hundred times. Respect
@@DigitalStokeMedia This series rocks-great work guys.x
I always looked up to Ueli. For all his amazing climbing achievements. The Eiger speed records. multi peak records, he climbed all 82 - 4000 metre peaks in the Alps in 2 months. And the most impressive, the South face of Annapurna speed record. One of the greatest climbers ever. I was sad when he died.
82 in 2 months is 1 and a half/6000 metre per day everyday for 60 days straight. Sorry that is impossible. R I P to ueli he accomplished some great records but that one is bs. In fact its the same as 40 everest summits.
@@mad-pit3832 obviously u do not do ur research first before u comment. It is a well documented fact that Ueli climbed 82 peaks in 62 days. ruclips.net/video/gib-6U0U3nE/видео.html
@@mad-pit3832 nah I doubt it's bullshit. There are some crazy people out there man. And I don't believe he just fell I almost want to believe he was murdered
@@elooouan Dw mate ueli was a champ, but some attention seeker commented here saying their uncle climbed Everest in 3 days including acclimatisation. I put them in their place and they deleted the comment. All uelis records are legit. I wouldnt be surprised if he was murderd, ive never thought of that you no. Imagine how angry the Sherpas in that video broke and suddenly none of the future climbers wanted to hire them. Then he returns to the same mountain a few years later and dies while alone???. He was comfortable on those mountains and one of the best alpine climbers in the world at the time. Avalanche or rock fall if not then murder. They are the only 3 ways it could of happend. But he new how to avoid the first 2, so it would of had to have been sudden, and out of nowhere.
@@mad-pit3832 its even documented Hahahahhaha
Some called Him The Swiss Machine but He was as HUMAN as I wish I could be...His humble and " ordinary " personality made Him Extraordinary!!
R.I.P
one of the best, his swiss disposition is something w had more of in the US
Wow. God bless Ueli for risking his own life to try and save the life of a stranger in such terrible circumstances. What courage!
Ueli - wow, legend among legends, RIP. Showing true altruistic nature there, knock the door of the Death Zone to give some strangers help.
One of the best! The Swiss Machine lives on in our hearts! RIP Ueli
We seemingly get desensitized from consuming films, videos, books and tales of horrific tragedies... But if/when it actually happens near us, to actually see and smell the illness and even the death of a real person beside you... It's such a trauma that could make you question and rethink all your priorities in life.
Luke 13:1-5.
This is one of the most compelling videos I've ever seen on RUclips. Such an incredible story! It seems Ueli really felt he had no choice but to go and try to help the others. But it also seems that even if the conditions had been significantly worse, such as if the weather was significantly more threatening, (or if he'd had 3 beers), he would still have felt a duty to go, no matter how risky this was. Did he really have a choice? Even considering he didn't even respect the decisions being made by the other team? It seems like there is an ethics of heroic duty in mountaineering which maybe needs to be reconsidered. But, I suppose the way it works is you think, "that could be me stuck up there". And then you become that guy stuck up there.
Ueli was the best, a great climber a greater Human, so humble, he is really missed.
A selfless act of courage.
This man used his God given gifts to attempt to save another.
Poor Ueli Steck so sad what happened to him , climbing world will miss him , he was the best alpinist ever , Rest In Peace Swiss machine , such a great guy too
R.I.P. Ueli. One of the greats of all time. Unfortunately, like about 50% of all elite climbers 🧗♀️ (according to Mesner) he pushed too far, too fast and paid the Ultimate Price. His successful climb of the South Face of Annapurna was stellar enough to put him in the history books forever. Never mind all his other fine accomplishments. Now…gone, way too soon…
and the Eiger record fastest ever - they reckon his time never gets beaten, took 2hrs and 20mins usual climbing time is 6-7 hrs. RIP way to soon, but he died on the mountain.
Thats not what Messner said. He said that 50% of all the best alpinists that ever lived died and that it was proof that it's not just about skill but also a 50/50 in the luck departement. Basically he said you can be the world's leading climber and an incident like rockfall or something can take you out regardless of you making any mistakes or not, so he didn't say 50% of all elite climbers push themselves too far. Basically every high altitude mountaineer pushes too far at some point or several because the sucess is on the edge of death at those altitudes soloing and without O2 - Messner himself almost died several times. But his point was he was one in the group of the 50% lucky ones, but he could easily have been in the other 50% also
@@edeszabo1977 usual climbing time of 6-7h? more like 2-3 days, doing it in a single day is allready a very strong performance
@@Leo-ge7qy yes just a leisurely stroll upwards right?
It was hard hearing this story knowing that Ueli is gone now too :(
Kyle Mohler agree
Agreed.
What a great person he was
Love this series. Just discovered it. I guess I’ve been living under a rock.
Thanks for posting this.
RIP Ueli.
Heroic stuff what a legend RIP
Wow that's harsh to have a friend die like that so sorry to hear this thank you for sharing 🌹
What a man! Sad your'e gone Ueli . R.I.P
when he wa saying " it makes you questioning , why do you do mountaniring ""
man....i felt so sad kmowing that 2 years later, it was hes time to go up.
So sad Uli
He is a far better man than me ........ I would never have put myself in such peril for a complete stranger.
Such a brave man ... Miss u buddy
What a legend . 🙏🙏 Rip.
I can learn a lot from Ueli his methods are geared for success and winning
Did he win?
He dead. Learn that.
@@JointFive percentage wise I’d say yes. Tom Brady went 18-1, can’t win em all but he’s still the best and you should want to learn from him.
As he fell from the mountain I bet he was more upset that he would never be able to climb again than he was upset about dying
Incredible life changing stories wow. Sad he died.
Poor Ueli so sad what happened , climbing world he was the best in my opinion , Rest In Peace Swiss machine you will be missed
Legend to the end, RIP
INAKI WAS A GREAT CLIMBER AND HUMAN BEING SAME AS UELI ,RIP THEM TWO
Keep up the good work guys!!!
I don’t know exactly what pushes an alpinist to take so many risks in mountains so beastly wild, except the fact that this sort of passion is fondamentally absurd and this is also our real essence, our real base.
addiciton. ones brain releases the same chemicals while mountainclimbing than while doing drugs
Mostly out real essence into find comfort in life, not adversity
The mountains can be Danger

Incredible
Respect Ueli
Mountaineering would be great except for rockfall, icefall, rockslide, avalanche, altitude sickness, bad weather, complacency and inexperience.
The views are fantastic otherwise.
Sucks we lost such a good man
3:08 Please never pressure a rescuer to go beyond what they think is safe. That needs to be a very personal decision.
Wonderful channel. Amazing content. Instant sub!
BUT HOW DID HE GET BACK DOWN? great video mate
R.I.P. Ueli
RIP .
RIP UELI
Ohhhhhhh Ueli Ueli....listening you "" what am i doing here "" and knowing what happened 2 years later....its so sad.
"" I hadn´t feed for 3 days ""
Oh my FKG GOD....can you imagine the level of adreneline and dopamine that you should feel in this moments just to stay alive ?
I imagine the level of frightning must be hes head to make him have the hability to not give up.
Its the frightinig situation that make us to still alive...when you loose it , you give up
RIP my brother
Ueli du bisch dr Bescht gsi, rueh in Friede Legände🙏🇨🇭
How sad is this, one decade later…
May he R.I.P.
Geeze, who was looking out for ueli when he was trying to rescue a man he did not even know? I would say he was a hero and did not know it but why did the people who wanted him to rescue the person who died why where they not looking out for ueli making sure he got oxygen or food or what ever??????? Why did he do this? he did not have to go??
It was his decision. He knew the risks the most. It was an opportunity.
wholly mary I know Ueli was like a hero and a machine. I stilll can’t believe he’s gone
And Ueli was a selfless person
TOTALLY AGREE-UELI SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE UP-BUT THE FACT THAT HE DID COMMIT TO POTENTIAL ONE WAY DEATHTRIP-FOOD,OXYGEN AND WATER SHOULD HAVE BEEN A M,UST.X
peer pressure
I deeply regret not to have Ueli anymore. RIP.
That was his warning
Damn , its so sad that Steck died. So fucking sad
What is the shot he gave the person?
Who is he talking about who died?
Rip
Been there...
When the sherpa get back because he is scared you know that things arebreally bad
In reality, most of the sherpas and potters have no actual altitude experience and are basically ignorant by Western standards. Very few Sherpas actually go up past Camp 3.
The great climbers die sometimes in the least expected places.
❤🙏
He looked for extreme situations between life and death to find out more about the meaning of life
The only meaning is Jesus. I pray for him
RIP born to climb
R.I.P/. Ueli S>
He had a chance to call it quits.To spend the rest of his life with a good woman.The universe was showing him the way out.He failed to listen.
Bruce Gelman Yeah what a shame. It must have dawned on him that one day a piece of ice that he is going to ram his ice axes in is going to slip down. Or an avalanche or rocks will fall onto him. I don‘t understand what drives people to do this again and again, why can‘t they just enjoy what they have achieved. It is clear that you can cheat death only so often. An incredible waste of human life, happiness and potential 😓
@@katana5562 for him and others similar to him climbing was like a narcotic, he could not just stop.
What happened to the Russian that summited?
What good English. And Ueli Steck is dead now too.
He was dancing with death 🤦♂️
I don’t get it. The Spanish guy got a lot better in the morning and was talking, and then he died?
Then he pushed him into a cravass? Why not just push him outside a few metres?
@@tbrowniscool He gave him a proper burrial, it happens like that in high altitude
@@FenerocityGaming Seems like a waste of energy
@@tbrowniscool crevasse was probably nearby
It's like when you have a flu and your headache eases up so you feel much better but you still have the flu. He may have suddenly got feeling good enough to talk which seems like an improvement but he was actually still dying rapidly.
I don't understand how Ueli got drawn into fighting w/Sherpas. He didn't waste his time on useless endeavors in spite of Sherpas.
Not sure what really happened. Was he really dead when you pushed him in the crevasse? Or was he too much of an annoyance or burden? Did the sherpas go back and you went on? I would never want to climb with him. He takes enormous risks and moves faster than anybody else. He is just about setting records
first Ueli is dead. A great loss. I think if you use your brain you will come to the conclusion that of course he was dead before he shoved him in a crevasse. He did so because he was stuck in a tent in a storm so having a dead body next to you is probably not the best. Too much of an annoyance or burden? then why did he risk his own life to try and rescue him? moronic comment.
@@lewistaylor2858 There was no need to push him in a crevasse and risk his life while doing so. Up there it is everyone for himself for many mountaineers and that is the harsh reality. If someone dies up there the difference between life and death is not easy to distinguish.
Gu Nesnaj It‘s pointless. A guy that is not able to move on his own will die up there. Did Uli have an emergency room with him? No. So what could he have done? Injected him with dexa, gave him oxygen to revive him and accompany him on the way back down. But this guy was already too far gone. Uli was the only one who helped him in the end. So yes, your comment is truly moronic.
@@katana5562 Maybe they should have aborted the whole thing when he started feeling unwell
