Ueli Steck has been climbing for over 20 years and in that time he has become one of the most renowned and respected athletes of his generation. In an age of fast and light alpinism, Ueli Steck has driven the sport to new heights with revolutionary ascents all over the world.
In 2015, after several years of pushing the limits of his sport in the high ranges of the Himalayas, Ueli decided to return to the Alps to attempt a very different take on a classic alpine challenge; climb all 82 summits of 4,000 metres or above in the European Alps in less than 80 days, and to top it all off, to complete the challenge using only human power from start to finish.
The project starts in eastern part of Switzerland with Ueli's climbing partner Michi Wohlleben and the project supporter Daniel Mader. Join Ueli and the team as they battle their way through the highs and lows of a very classic alpine challenge in the Alps. EpicTV and Goal Zero present "The Classic Alpinist”, a special 4-part series. Stay tuned for part 2 coming out next Tuesday the 22nd of December.

RIP Ueli. The world has lost a great one but his amazing feats will live on forever.
"It is just one second you make a wrong decision. It can happen to the best." That sums it up. RIP.
He changed my life. That simple. I've been thinking about him a lot in the last few days while trying to rekindle the flames in my life and in pursuit of mountain endurance. Legends never die
You go glen coco
R.I.P. Ueli. 30.04.17
You'll be remembered.
Sherpas murdered him. RIP.
@@halcncod No he sadly slipped on an "easy slope"
RIP Ueli :( . Particularly eerie to hear him say this at 5:58 given his recent slip and fall off of Everest -- "It's hard to explain how much risk I take, because I'm the only person who's in the moment, and who makes the decision. It's just one second, you make a wrong decision. This can happen to the best"
He may have been knocked off the mountain by rockfall. There is some evidence to indicate this. Nothing conclusive, but some signs point that way.
He wasnt on Everest.... he was near Everest.

he still continue to inspire us
This just blown my mind!
whoever was flying the drone camera is also a badass...
What a bloody gutsy legend of a man, pushing every Red Blood Cell in his body to the extreme! What an insurmountable, inimitable legend! #UeliSteck #Restinpeace #Respect
u will always stay in our hearts.....May ur soul rest in peace in the place u loved... the mighty Himalayas. love u ueli...
A true Master of the Mountains! No more Equiptment needed, since you've earned your wings! Your Spirit lives on! God Bless .....
"Going to the mountains is not something you can read in a book, you have to be out there." ~Ueli Steck
Unless you don’t have what it takes to be out there; then a book is just fine thanks😎
Chris Conway he is right but he his dead 🤦♂️
Eh, you'll die behind your book too and no one will make videos about you
@@justinpino8115 I'm ok with that 👌. Plus, he said you can't experience the mountains from a BOOK- he ain't say nothin bout UA-cam! I been to all the greatest peaks- no frostbite 😏.
5:58
Total respect to this guy.
R.I.P
Miss Ueli so much.
Great stuff! A repeat of Martin Moran and Simon Jenkins undertaking, do the 4000 m peaks and bike in between, although they didn't paraglide off ... See Martins's book Alps 4000.
you live for ever in our hearts
Even for the older ones this teaches us that it is always the strongest mountain, it's rest in peace, we will miss you.
Ueli steck was the best ever , climbing world will miss him , Rest In Peace Swiss machine
RIP Ueli :-(
valzerna Kings never die they just grow wings and they fly
Zach Andersson I hope that's really true.
don't feed the troll, Barking Spider...
Barking Spider speaking of the devil, there's special places for inhuman ppl like u
Whitie powers this isn't the comment section for that kind of talk . Take it els where
Amazing effort... did Martin Moran do a similar thing 75 4000m peaks in 52 days by cycling between? In the 90s I think..
He loved mountains, mountains took him. RIP legend
RIP. What an inspiring legend!
Must have watched this at least 300 times. Thank you Ueli. Anyone know the music piece at the end? I find it very relaxing and happy to listen to.
What is the music in the video? Especially the song at the end?
Mark Foo the big wave surfer said "If you want the ultimate thrill, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price."
We know he paid the ultimate price but he did get the ultimate thrill ?
This has inspired me to climb as many 4,000 meter peaks (13,000ft) as I can in California. Apparently there are 147 peaks. Here I go...........
Really nice guy. Obviously with speed soloing it was only a matter of time before his number came up. "To the dead, one owes respect. To the living, only the truth." Voltaire
0:47 That view is just breathtaking.
Great video.
He is nutzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz and seems to be so humble
This is truly unbelievable
Miss him
0:52 where, what mountain this cabin is located ? Anyone ? Thanks
Why do I want to climb mountains when I'm so afraid of heights. I see the footage in these videos and my heart sinks.
Same here!
anyone got the link to pt2 but with english subtitles please?
Martin Moran and Simon Jenkins did 75, their criteria was 35m higher than its neighbor in 1993, with minimal sponsorship and friend support also cycling between bases. 51 days 13 1/2 hours.!!!!
I will always wonder if the stress of this goal, affected his performance on Lotshe Traverse and caused him to die.PLUS: He lost his friend Martin on that last 82 summit run....PLUS: there was a heated altercation in everest camp which could have messed up his focus for that climb on Lotshe. PLUS: he had recently been interviewed and told his interviwer "i feel empty"
And repeated it two more times in the interview. 😞
@epictv which music was used in the video?
RIP Ueli, you died young, but you experience life way more than an average person.
Legend
Adios amigo.... me eseñaste con tu forma de ser y entender la vida a ser mejor persona. Para siempre UELI
RIP, Ueli. I'll say hi to some 4000'ers for you coming summer.
9:45 oooh, I stood on that, once (the Mittagshorn near Saas Fee).
what would you advise a man who wants to start mountaineering?
TheChuky18 One of the best things for you to start with is get into rock climbing and do as many hikes as possible. They don't need to be technically difficult but they must be long and test your endurance. Before long you meet loads of people who share your same interests and these people are the ones you'll end up climbing with. Don't fuss about owning the best equipment from day 1 as the only way you can really learn is by trial and error. However, investing in some high end hiking boots and some great outdoors clothing is a decent start.
And from there you learn your strengths and weaknesses. Where to improve and how to go about doing it. Don't be reckless but don't try play it too safe either.
Chase Kaplan well thank you very much for your advise!
So devastated to learn he's dead. Such a talent just like Dean Potter 😪
where is part 2? -the epictv version in english
How long will it take? well about 40 years looks like
Where is Part 2 of this?
Where is part II ?
Ueli superman
insane!
Did the kid finish the project with Ulie?
The Swiss Machine....RIP Ueli
Where is part 2?
Patrick Berhault tried and died attempting this...everybody thought it was impossible in 82 days...what a lesson for us mortals that even for us, our limits they might be way further than we imagine! Keep getting after it!
Amazing ueli 👍👍
Best ever....
Rest in Peace, Ueli. =(
anyone know the name of the town at 2:30? absolutely amazing
Lauterbrunnen (I guess)
yep you are right Pablo

RIP.
Nice channel
A climber can score 82 victories in one stretch but all gravity needs is one single victory to level the score.
Yup, same as driving a car odds are you get injured in a crash.
RIP!
cleaned up Petzl's camp in early 70s in Tetons . his group left a mess. so much for conservationist. found his stash up higher. thanks.
I think the stench of his enkels makes hem walking a steep sloop more natural.
Geniales!!
Bless you and yours Ueli. We spend so much time and effort chasing things. Please cherish the small humble relationships we have with each other here in this beautiful time of life. I try to love Christ our Lord immensely and try to care for each person my neighbor as best I can.
Really he is a SWISS machine. But for me he is THE WORLD GREAT MOUNTINEER. R. I . P.
RIP Ueli
5:58
It makes me tear up knowing he died on the mountains. I wonder what his last thoughts were
ola mis amigos
Ueli Steck
R.I.P.
"a couple in Italy" Sorry to disappoint you Ueli (rip) but the 4000 in the Alps are, considering the shared peaks on the borders for more than one country, 51 in Swizerland, 37 in Italy, 24 in France...
He was th man, no other way to put it.
He isn't saying the truth at 0:28: there are 48 4000 m peaks in Switzerland, 38 4000 in Italy and only 25 in France. I wouldn't really say there are only a "couples" of them in Italy....
RIP
SWISS machine RIP 🗻
is part 2 missing ?
+PentagonalAntiprism I can't find it. I have parts 1, 3 and 4, but no 2.

Thanks!
Ueli Steck death caused by Sherpas
RIIIIIP :(
Der Frank Lampard der Berge.
Incredible achievement. Extreme endurance athletes actually have high risk of health problems in later life though, there's a low life expectancy due to your body simply being worn out early, the world needs more education about what is healthy.
Totally debunked by a recent study. What you may be referring to is hard-core athletes who do not know how to supplement or even eat right.
somos chicos malos
Rip
God please find me part 2!
***** God? Indeed you are! A 1000 years of prostrating thank you's could never adequately express my undying gratitude! I worship you and your googling search mastery!

Mount Everest killed the strongest wolf
wenn man sagt, "ich mache alles mit Körperkraft", "ich fahre mit dem Radl zum nächsten 4000er" und wenn man sich dann die Ausrüstung mit dem Auto hinterherfahren lässt, dann wirkt das ziemlich affig, ein reiner PR-Gag
To overconfident , it cost him his life , I do believe whatever good you are you should be always careful and humble in the face of nature .
klobuk dole...
82 summits in 62 days? That is more than one per day. If you reach the summit alone, who will verify that this actually took place?
The film crew ?
@@mwg911hk I am not sure if it was all documented on film. His Annapurna climb was apparently not documented. I suppose they left out the footage where he got dropped off by helicopter.
@@jeroenjansen2709 I'm sure they couldn't film every climb.. do you think there were some shenanigans a foot?
@@mwg911hk The thing is that if you want to go that way namely the ridiculous record of climbing these mountains in the shortest time possible then there should be agreed ways of verifying that record. If someone else wants to break the record he should also be monitored as agreed.
@@jeroenjansen2709 totally agree. There should be complete documentation of all the summited peaks. I don't know about you but my forearms got sore watching him pick his way up those pitches..
just curious, the most dangerous bit of climbing is going back down the mountain. Isn't paragliding kind of cheating? you are doing half the work. correct? I am in no way taking anything away from the achievements.
Janica Moore - I thought the same thing, but since I have not done either my next thought is maybe paragliding is just as or more dangerous. Maybe?
Taryn Miller-Bell Lol you wouldn't catch me doing the climbing or paragliding. I am a armchair critic I guess? I do think he should summit and go back down though ..doesn't matter now since he has died on Everest.
Janica Moore that's an interesting question for any challenge - what counts as cheating. I think it depends on what the point of the challenge is. Ueli did a lot of speed ascents, and for those the stopwatch usually stops at the summit. I think this challenge was an extension of that. He wanted to string together 82 speed ascents, and commute between them using only human power.
Ueli should have used a few of his sherpas buddies, he moves alot faster whith their encouragement.
it is really sad that he is pepsi now...
You can climb safe or you can climb fast, but you can't do both.
There are old climbers and there are bold climbers but there are no old bold climbers.
Dead men walking...
As we all are.
And he's dead....
And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count; it's the life in your years.
the greatest alpinist is the one who get back home.
I could agree with you , but only if you are able to explain your concept to ueli's mother , brothers , wife and maybe childrens.looking them in their eyes! mountain's breathe is slow , alpinists often forget this because they just challange themself.i find it sad , some other may not.blabla.
Thats not the greatest ones, thats the luckiest ones... Sadly...
I told you , i find it sad , some other may not. "the greatest alpinist is the one who get back home" is a Bruno Detassi's quote. If you don't know who is he , well , maybe you don't love mountains that much.but , anyway , i don't care. your baby - child approach is evident looking how you consider (BS) other people's opinion. hold your idols and your myths in your pocket and...so long.
Detassi is not even comparable to Ueli, sad that incompetent people flaming youtube, it happens daily anyway. Their achievements had different goals. The greatest alpinist is not the one that gets back home, its like voting for Trump for world peace. Only idiots could make that comparision. Some people have far more better skill than Ueli and die earlier, because of a mistake. The more practice the less probability to mistakes, also natural talent needs to be taken into account. But as an alpinist or climber you also have to take into account the weather. Indeed maybe a waste to waste such a talent to climb by climbing in high altitudes and take the risks. For example Messner, every photo of him i seen or video after he finally gotten down from a 8000+ meter peak he look as he has died at least 3 times before getting home. Still he survived. I hate stupid people, i grew up to respect all regardless origin and beliefs, but there is one kind of people i can not take, and thats fuggin stupid people, the disgrace of the human race.
GoJMe RIP UELI
LEGEND OF SPORTS AND HUMANITY UELI LIVE IN PEACE
R.I.P
RIP Ueli
