Climber Who Sprinted Up The North Face Of The Eiger
The Week Middle East
|May 13, 2017
Ueli Steck, who has died aged 40, was probably the greatest mountaineer of hisgeneration.
-
Ueli Steck 1976-2017
He was known for his solo ascents, without bottled oxygen, of the great Himalayan peaks, including Everest, but was most closely associated with the North Face of the Eiger: having first climbed it aged 18, he returned, again and again, repeatedly beating his own speed record. The first climbers to complete the perilous route, in 1938, took four days. In 2015, Steck sprinted up the 5,500ft “Wall of Death” in two hours and 22 minutes.
