This guy is a great example of foolishness. Suicidal foolishness, doing the highest peaks in the world against time, without a safety line. Really stupid. Now he's dead.
This man was a climbing monster, a hero and the most important thing...a real dreamer, he never gave up on this. Mountaineering will always be an extremely risky activity so your point is meaningless, you should have more respect for extraordinary people who show the best of human beings. Cheers!
He lived 41 years doing what he loved, setting records, and inspiring people to get out into the world, what have you done?? He died doing what he loves which is something almost no one can do.You would have to be the laziest couch bum to call that foolishness. Sure going without a safety line is dangerous, but when your doing a route that has never been done before there obviously aren't going to be ropes to hold your hand the whole way, he was prepared and had more then enough experience for this, unfortunately mistakes happen.
You think that it has to happen at one point. But he keeps coming back, having reached new heights, seemingly with ease. So your mind accepts it. It's Ueli. He'll come back. Then on a Sunday morning you get up and the news that he died slaps you in the face. This is unexpected. But I have to remind myself, what does it matter if you live 40 or 80 years. It only matters if you can do what you desire and achieve what you dream of. 40 or 80 are just arbitrary numbers. I will try to make peace with this now. My heart goes out to his family. Bye Ueli.
Pferdekopfnebel He should have gotten treatment for depression and his feeling to have to prove himself over and over again. He must have suffered from great feelings of inner boredom and worthlessness. Also from an evolutionary standpoint his choices were very poor unfortunately. And of course for everybody involved.
40 and 80 are not arbitrary numbers. They represent years lived. Those numbers dictate whether you get to have children, grandchildren, whether you get to pass your knowledge onto the next generation, whether your parents have to bury their child (if they even have a body..). The reality is that alpine mountaineering is a dangerous and selfish sport that should only be undertaken by those who know and accept the risks. Don't sugarcoat it. This guy died way before his time trying to climb up and down a mountain.
@@yellow-stand-u8wdn2 you made a good point, speed mountaineering for me seems to be perverted, where is the fun and enjoyment with life if you always look for time and physical records while doing your beloved sports?? A tibetan lama said once: Mountaineering can become a greed. Sadly Ueli died for this- his family and fans had to say goodby to him the harsh way.
thanks for your touching words. we all live better together with people like u in between.. wish you and your loved ones just the best. have a great day and keep up the good work amigo
Crying here (Northern Irishman living in Latvia). I loved Ueli Steck, for me, the number one mountaineer of our age. I just can't take this in. I'm just numb. An amazing achiever on the Eiger. I just can't accept this. May God comfort his family.
This morning when I heard the news about his death I couldn't believe them. But this is how it works... You keep following your dreams, living your passion... And you live it so deeply that you don't even mind to die for it.
Jeder folgt in seinem Leben einer Straße. Keiner weiß vorher, wann und wo sie endet. Alle hinterlassen Spuren und manche kreuzen unseren Weg. Einige, die wir trafen, werden wir nicht vergessen. Auch wenn sie für immer gehen, in unseren Herzen und unserer Erinnerung bleiben sie. Ruhe in Frieden lieber Uli, viel zu früh musstest du gehen
R.I.P. Ueli Steck, you will never be forgotten, an absolute inspiration on and off the mountain, may you rest in peace, and much strength to his wife and family in those dark days. He died doing what he loved, not many can stake that claim. His work ethic, perseverance and fearlessness have inspired me to try and pursue my goals and passions more ruthless and uncompromisingly. Thanks for all you did!!!
Unsäglich traurig nehme ich Kenntnis vom Tod eines grandiosen Alpinisten und eindrücklichen, faszinierenden Menschen. Seinen Angehörigen, insbesondere seiner Frau, und seinen Freunden wünsche ich Kraft und Trost. Mein tief empfundenes Beileid!
I'm 28 years old and I'm living on a Pannonian plain whole my life, I love nature since my childhood but now I'm interesting in mountaineering and alpinism and I hope I will start with those activities soon. Anyway I watched many, many documentaries and videos last couple of months and I read a lot of articles and books. Your work is really crossing boundaries of possible. It should be motivation for everyone in the world. I hope you will have clear sky and days without wind for your ascent. I will follow every news about this project and I will cross my fingers for your success.
nidexicomania just remember it comes at great price sometimes! safety first never forget those who love you. sadly this true mountaineer died this morning climbing the south side of everest :(
Ueli seemed to be a real passionate, sympathetic guy. It's inspiring to see how much he loved what he did. His life and what he made of it is a success. Thank you & rest in peace, Ueli!
Ueli Steck should be remembered in the same inspiring company as the legendary explorers of all time. Not just a climber but an inspiration for us all. He diid what was not considered possible. He didn't give up. He dd not fail. We will miss you.
Dean Potter, David Lama, Brad Gobright, Ueli Steck are just a few good climbers that have perished that I know of. Inge Perkins and Hayden Kennedy was pretty sad too. Rip Ueli
R.I.P. Ueli Steck Dein Leben waren die Herausforderungen. Nun bist du bei einer deiner grössten Herausforderung gescheitert. Deine Leistungen und Bilder bleiben unvergessen. Meine Gedanken und Beileid an die ganze Familie.
Today is a sad day. A great mountaineer is gone from us. Always thought you are doing the impossible. May your next life be as great as this one. R.I.P.
Ueli Steck rest in peace, your ascents and activities will be a reference and object of inspiration for climbers from all over the world for a long time.
@@46cyrano hummm things happen, like an avalanche that took David Lama...Messner was lucky and some are less lucky but not less heroic...Ueli Steck knew he could die as all others who deal with super human adventures...some simply die sitting in am armchair eating potato chips with beers...life is a choice...amen!
@@oldwarmonger8750 You cant compare them. totally different diciplines in mountaineering. But yeah, RM is top legend of all time, maybe just because he survived all his shit.
I was lucky enough to meet Ueli 'The swiss machine' Steck last November during a talk. I have always been deeply impressed by his speed climb of the Eiger north face as well as his project '82 summits'. Being the alpine and climbing enthusiast I am, it is oddly more saddening to read from his fatal accident while his acclimatation for his 'Everest-Lhotse' project. I never felt bad when hearing from another dead mountaineer, but this time it feels different though. Maybe because I met and chatted with him. My warmest condolences to his family, may he rest in peace.
This makes me so amped to know you're back at Everest and taking the old Hornbein route too! Thanks for constantly redefining what can actually be done up there. Safe travels and many prayers will be sent your way!
Never heard if this man until 24 hours ago watching Mountaineering videos on RUclips. From I have seen this guy was the Michael Jordan of his sport and just a outstanding person. RIP to a true giant of his time.
Never heared of him before and checked all his projects from the past. Very inspiring person, straight plan, solid characted from what I saw and heared. So it must have been some real accident not caused by unexperience or something like that. Really sad but a big inspiration for sure ! RIP Ueli Steck.
Thomas Vitali I relate it to most bad car accidents happen very close to your own home because you are too comfortable. Everest is not a wall scaling mountain, mostly climbed using ropes like a hand railing. I believe he was overly comfortable on the mountain that many have climbed without ever climbing before. So sad. I watched another video of when they brought his body down and transported him.
He was one of the most talented alpinists ever. Iv been following him for many years now. I still think his most amazing achievement, (even beyond his more recent Eiger record), is his *2014 Annapurna* south face record. The conditions he did that in & the time recorded. I would say that was almost a super human level of achievment.
Ueli was awesome to watch. I will miss him even though I never met him. He was contagious for me even though I'm just a Trekker I push my trekking farther because of Inspiration gained from watching and reading about Ueli. I think he did that for a lot of people from all walks of life. That's pretty awesome and it's more then most do in a lifetime.
A truly inspiring man. Shows that if you try hard enough, your dreams are possible, no matter how much time it takes to get there. Doesn't mean we will all achieve them, but it is possible! And what a climber!
" the only definition I do - is like - to be not successful is just ... if you have an accident or your gonna die - that is definitely not successful " - Ueli Steck ... a tragic outcome
Oh Ueli, we miss you. Watching this video I feel the kinship of mountaineers as you prepare and plan your trip; pouring over maps and reading old trip reports, such a pleasure and a big part of the experience. RIP.
@@right740 Obviously, not exactly. But he did glorify a lifestyle that required extreme risk taking for no real benefit to humanity. Of course everyone is free to live like that, but I think encouraging it is just wrong. And stating that his life is like 15x more "full" than that of "normal" people is insulting, in my opinion.
I love his Swiss mentality of I am not the only person in the world. I miss his grounded perspective and humility when it comes to mountaineering. A true inspiration, rest in peace
Es ist schön das es noch Filme gibt, in denen man diesen tollen und mutigen Menschen und Sportler noch sehen kann. Sehr, sehr schade das es so gekommen ist.
Hello Ueli, you are one of the mountaineer that I really looked after and the day when I heard the news I was froze for a while coz I knew it’s possible impossible mission i should say, that you were attempting .. things went bad I guess during the warm up session in nuptse .. where ever you are brother , always be happy .. you will always remain in our memory and I always kept telling other people about your achievement .. thank you Fellow Nepalese lads here 🙏

i was trekking Everest Base Camp recently 10 - 19 April 2017. I might see you on 1 of trek probably. RIP Ueli. you're my nowadays idol climber 😭 your soul lives forever in our heart on Everest.
Remarkable man. Just like listening to the music of JS Bach, to think about him, his attitudes and his character has a cleansing effect on the soul. For a short while, it wipes away the grubby selfish shortsightedness and the avaricious materialism that afflicts human society and in turn blights the planet. Danke, Ueli.
RIP UELI. Your Spirit will be immortal and the legions of climbers you have inspired will carry your legacy forward. My hearfelt condolence to your family. Irreparable loss to the climbing community.

I am not a climber but I understand how commercialise the Everest summit has become. People go there like its a national park. If he had done this, He would have brought back the excitement of conquering Mt. Everest again. He was a pure soul and a great mountaineer. RIP
@@jaakops3584 the mountain is an inanimate object, it’s all human ability, wrong move and you’re done, simple as that. Avalanche, done, it’s nature. The mountain doesn’t take anybody, they surrender to the mountain
Wow. What an ambitious project. It would have been cool to see him make it. It just goes to show you that even the best of the best are not safe from the draw and danger of Everest. RIP
MAD RESPECT FOR THIS GUY. I BELIEVE HE WOULD HAVE PULLED THIS OFF. HE HAD EVERYTHING GOING FOR HIM, FITNESS, THE GEAR, THE DRIVE, THE PARTNER. RIP UELI
✝️ See, when someone dies, he fades away into forgottenness. Even such a good person, as Ueli. We can only hope that somewhere, he lives on, or that he will live again. ✝️
Rest in peace, Ueli Steck. Even I am not a mountaineer, this man is a great example of passion and dedication.
He speaks so convincingly, and his words meet directly into my soul,
That's what I say, though

I'm having a hard time accepting ueli fell. I know he climbed free but cmon.
if the mountain wants you it will keep you forever no matter how skilled you are
Just takes one wrong step. RIP
@@jaakops3584 the mountain is an inanimate object, it’s all human ability, wrong move and you’re done, simple as that. Avalanche, done, it’s nature. The mountain doesn’t take anybody, they surrender to the mountain
@@tzon6802 Blunt force trauma took him from his body repeatedly hitting the rocks as he bounced off them.
Ueli du bist einfach der geilste!
Kiedy góral umiera,
To góry z żalu sine,
Pochylają nad nim głowy,
Jak nad swoim synem.
........ Spoczywaj w Pokoju Ueli Steck.
Wow. What an ambitious project. It would have been cool to see him make it. It just goes to show you that even the best of the best are not safe from the draw and danger of Everest. RIP
RIP. LOVED WHAT YOU DID FOR THE SPORT. THE INSPIRATION AND LIVE YOU GAVE TO THE WORLD OF MOUNTAINEERING. SLEEP TIGHT X
There are no bold old climbers, there are only old bold climbers. RIP UELI one of the greatests among his kind !
RIP Ueli, you remain the strongest beam of light for many of us.
R.I.P Ueli Steck a truly inspirational person.
MAD RESPECT FOR THIS GUY. I BELIEVE HE WOULD HAVE PULLED THIS OFF. HE HAD EVERYTHING GOING FOR HIM, FITNESS, THE GEAR, THE DRIVE, THE PARTNER. RIP UELI
And gravity
Tant de passion pure qui s'évanouit, c'est un malheur mais tu auras vécu comme tu l'as voulu. Respect à jamais.
Rest in peace, Ueli Steck! We, the Nepali people have lost a great friend.
✝️ See, when someone dies, he fades away into forgottenness. Even such a good person, as Ueli. We can only hope that somewhere, he lives on, or that he will live again. ✝️
And you raged until the very end, God Bless and RIP Ueli, were gonna miss seeing you climb
Rip Ueli miss your smiling face band your kind manners. A real gentleman & super climber in the same man. Keep on climbing in the sky
What an incredible life he lived. May your family find peace and comfort.
