    The fact that he climbed the Eiger north face in less than 2.5 hrs makes his 28-hr solo on the south face of Annapurna seem even more amazing. He even admitted to taking some serious risk in that climb. I'm really surprised these weren't documented by entire film crews, some of the most epic climbs in history.

    “The light that burns twice as bright, burns for half as long.”
    Ueli’s death is a tragedy for his family, of course, but, in a way, he is connected to the rest of us too. He was one of those rare individuals who, by his example, inspired the more ordinary of us to be that bit better and exceed our self-imposed limitations. Human progress does not advance by accident; it needs torch bearers to show the way and we all owe Ueli our gratitude.
    His family can be immensely proud.

    Sadly, Ueli Steck took his last climb about two years ago this month (April, 2017) at age 40. It is thought that he fell over 3,000' to his death in an acclimatization climb in preparation of climbing Mt. Everest again. It seems incredible that someone who was such a successful mountaineer would die on a mountain, but he MAY have been trying for speed in his last climb. Very sad, RIP. Ueli!
