So much respect for both of them, I'm not a climber but i always admired people that do what they are passionate about and are best at it like these two guys. It seems that Ueli spent his life doing what he loves most and even it was short life i think it was more fulfilling than the life of most people who lived to their old age. Anyway, i hope that something like that doesn't happen to AH any soon so we can enjoy watching his crazy free soloing for many more years ...
My greatest advice I can give a person do not risk your life more than you have to. Because your life is worth more than you can ever think of,it's priceless.thanks God bless
@@werearethedreamteam3724he didnt risk more than he had to. Asking ueli not to climb fast cause he might slip and die is like cutting a childs legs and saying see, now you cant fall and hurt yourself anymore. It was his passion he lived and died for it
@@timonbubnic322 Apperently you have no idea what death is and how it works do ya fyi death was following me ever since i was a kid till almost now and the crazy part it almost caught up with me this is like final destination but in real life..thanks god bless
@@werearethedreamteam3724 idk what you are reffering to. Nobody really knows what happens in the afterlife. Maybe its nothing, maybe its heaven or hell but dying is natural we will all die someday. Ueli died doing what he loved, i guarantee you, he would have preffered that to dying bed ridden from cancer even if it came that early.
I'm not even a climber, to me this is a bit insane but that's why even to me this guy is a f*****g legend... So much respect for this guy... R.I.P. Ueli Steck
I love how brave he is. he is really awesome .even he is from Switzerland (i think) ... ppl in there are so nice . I really like Switzerland❤️ He made me want to try to climb high mountains. He is so inspiring! He is my HERO!! thanks ueli!!
@@1q2w3e4r5t6zism your reply is nonsense. This is my opnion and i dont think i am very much mistaken. Nonsense aswell replying an english comment on german and giving no arguments at all.
And he did take the light fast style to the biggest faces. I don’t know what happened with the Sherpa fight, but there is a mystical quality to every approach to Everest. He was running Everest when he fell. Preparing for an o2 less climb, speed climbing not just Everest but then across to the next peak before coming down!!! And I’m certain if he had not slipped, he would have accomplished that feat by now. I really loved watching him climb. There was something ephemeral about where he had taken his skill. Like he said right to the most precise edge
saw Swiss machine yesterday in Chicago. And he really is one! He has his safety with speed. Would it be more safe to spend few days on the mountain? To cary a bigass pack with all the safty equipment? I don't know... I just admire him! This was certanly the best film on Reel Rock Tour. Go Ueli!
Ueli steck is a legend in the making. My huge respect to him. I really like the alpine style of climbing ,entire things you got to do on your own unlike those expedition where everything is set before you get there. Hope you will be the first to do k2 solo. All the best sir.
Ueli was one of the most inspiring, intelligent and accomplished God level alpinists, nature men and sport climbers. He was a throwback, an archaic revival, a re-wilded visionary. He did pass, like many adrenaline junkies, due to hubris. His obsession with achievement and trophies was his downfall. When we go into nature, remember to humble yourself and move slowly and spiritually.
We need more heroes, more icons, more limit smashers. Uli is one. I thank God for him. His feats nourish the spirit and remind us that limits are simply goals to be achieved.
My passion flows mainly through music practicing ( drums, guitar and keyboard ), and also drawing. I NEVER was into sports, especially team sports. I'm really into team work but I'm not crazy about rules of any kind. Thus said, I like warriors and gladiators. People who struggle to improve themselves and like to face new challenges. Just watched a great documentary about Alex Honnold on Disney+ and honestly, if I wasn't so old ( pushing 58 ), I'd try my climbing skills a bit. Yeah, lots of climbers end up dead, but I think I understand their passion. I tend to think that nothing happens for no reason. These height lovers aren't just a bunch of crazy suicidal show-offs. They are driven by the fear of the unknown and the inner power to overcome it. I totally get it, and now I admire them fully. It's better to die trying than to dismiss a wide range of life experiences just because some might be dangerous. Their accomplishments eventually end up boosting our collective genetic pool, and I for one, want to thank them all for their magnificently intrepid and adventurous spirits. THANK YOU. You have NOT died in vain.
Why the fuck everyone's assuming that he made a mistake? The section he fell of is actually one of the easiest on Nuptse, according to many climbers. He climbed routes a million times harder and he hadn't made a single mistake. Most probably he was hit by a falling rock, we'll never know for sure.
Go Uli! We have a new saying after watching the film about him at the Banff Film Fest whenever we are about to climb a tough pitch or boulder: "Just do it like Uli!"
Not that I ever would climb Everest, but for a legend like Steck to lose his life there should be a wake up call to people who treat it like a tourist attraction
climbing the nose twice in 2 days is fucking unbelievable. specially if you are freeing the whole thing. i just dont understand how someone can be so damn in shape. im just gonna keep training.....
@apffiner you overstate it -- climbing is still a mental challenge when you're climbing on a rope. Climbing isn't about going out of your way to take on risk - I think most climbers, even bold climbers like Kevin Jorgeson and Ueli, try to minimize their risk. The mental challenge is working with, and controlling, the risk you've taken on, not just trying to make it more likely you're going to die. Ueli's passion for speed comes at the expense of safety, but I think he's still trying to be safe
"I'm not better than anyone else, I just train like hell". I love you Ueli, RIP
I just saw a comment from 10 years ago. I didn't realize this was from when Ueli was young. So sad.
The guy was one of the greatest athlete's of all time
His cardio game had to be unmatched. The real Swiss machine was the one in his chest
I love how when Alex and uli first meet, they first things they do is grunt
That scene was so funny! :D

@@ricomatugs548 Not sure about Ueli, but Alex is a really socially awkward person.

RIP Ueli. What terrible news. You will always be a great inspiration.
What an absolute inspiration to see someone so passionate about a single part of life. It should encourage the rest of us to excel in our own passions
absolute legend. now climbing the biggest mountains rest in peace
You have been an inspiration to go farther and higher -in the mountains, and in life.
And may you rest in peace, for you will continue to be...
He was one of my heroes and inspirations when I started climbing many years ago. What an incredible loss and so young. RIP

I knew it was going to be Alex from this comment lol
hilarious 😂😂
I was midway on a trek in the Himalaya when I got the sad news. The rest of the trek was in Ueli’s shadow. What a legend.
Rest in peace, Ueli. Your efforts will continue to inspire many generations of climbers, adventures and mountain lovers.

@@pinarozge6895 yes. on Nuptse during an acclimatization run
This video gets me hyped for training beyond all others
RIP..sir ...an thank you so much for the entertainment..I know you did your best..an that’s all any one of us can do...🌹✝️🙏
Him,Federer, and a swiss guy i used to ski with in Canada all have a similar look and all seriously focused.
Unbelievable and will never forget . RIP
This guy was mega-quick ! Made it look so easy. A tragic loss, we will never know just how much more he would have gone on to achieve.
Best team ever, Steck and Honnold!

A very impressive man - well told and filmed.
This is the craziest guy i have ever seen .__. Awsome!

Pushing to the next Level... Great!
LITERALLY THE GOAT
Descansa en paz 😔 eras el mejor...
good bye Ueli Rip :-(
One of a kind!

The world really misses watching ueli stek climbing videos
RIP epic legend.
Their greeting with grunts is wonderful
Liäbä Ueli! Ruhe in Frieden in Deinen Bergen!!!
Swiss Machine with passion.
This guy makes me want to spend my senior year in college in Switzerland, maybe I'll become a badass.
I like the approach "I am just faster than the others, but I know I can do better" :-)

Ye voodoo just an awesome modest guy...never knew honnold climb with Ueli..I need to find some more footage of that..what a team..woohooo
love this guy
You are one of the finest
This is the greatest Crossover in human history 📜📜
Amazing guy
"the hardest part was stopping my watch with gloves on" :D
If someone as skilled as the swiss machine can make a mistake it really shows how dangerous these mountains are.... RIP Ueli :(

ueli steck is an amazing alpinist!!
awesome!!!
3:38 this is what it looks/sounds like when two fellows meet who are both a little... left of center shall we say?
This guy was a total badass.
RIP
A true pioneer
Rip ueli.. One of the best climber
Man is the pinnacle of all around fitness
his accent is SO swiss ♥
for everyone who hates how this video ended, the new record he set was 2:47:33
So sad , ueli steck was the greatest , we will miss you
inspiring
Watching and listening to him talk
Go Uli! We have a new saying after watching the film about him at the Banff Film Fest whenever we are about to climb a tough pitch or boulder: "Just do it like Uli!"
Legend. Rip.
he completed the climb yesterday in another record time of 2:33:47
3:30 where is the whole video of Alex climibng this crazy roof???
Physical and mental genius to do what he does. With a healthy dose of guts to bat. Dudes a stud.
He died on Everest
Not that I ever would climb Everest, but for a legend like Steck to lose his life there should be a wake up call to people who treat it like a tourist attraction
It fairness, his solo attempt on Nuptse has very little to do with the standard siege route up the south face.
Even if i feel sad about his fate, i must say i admire the skills of the climbers.
mamma mia just respect
climbing the nose twice in 2 days is fucking unbelievable. specially if you are freeing the whole thing. i just dont understand how someone can be so damn in shape. im just gonna keep training.....
Why is he in such a hurry??
Wow, amazing to see Ueli and Alex together!
Rip Ueli. We miss you.
@apffiner
you overstate it -- climbing is still a mental challenge when you're climbing on a rope. Climbing isn't about going out of your way to take on risk - I think most climbers, even bold climbers like Kevin Jorgeson and Ueli, try to minimize their risk. The mental challenge is working with, and controlling, the risk you've taken on, not just trying to make it more likely you're going to die. Ueli's passion for speed comes at the expense of safety, but I think he's still trying to be safe
What a boss
RIP LEGEND!!
I swear to God...I hope this guy will live long enough to tell these stories to his grandchildrens...but somehow I doubt it...
😢
Never heard of this guy, but R.I.P.
He slips at the end 0f this~ that technique definitely did him in!
The Swiss watch has stopped ticking. RIP
