Ueli Steck’s journey has led him to some of the hardest mountains in the Alps, into towering spines above Chamonix, France. There he joins his old friends and makes new ones with every peak. The climbing gets more technical and more challenging here but it doesn’t stop Ueli moving forward in his challenge, bagging peak after peak on his way toward the Italian side of the Mont Blanc massif. There he spends lot of time in the Torino hut which gives him amazing access to many surrounding 4000m peaks. In the Torino hut Ueli Steck meets up with Dutch alpinist Martijn Seuren who, during the ascent of one of the alpine peaks, tragically dies in an accident on Grandes Jorasses.
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. Come back for the final part on 5th of January.

[@skyjuiceification]

Alex Honnold!

[@et803]

@@skyjuiceification Honnold doesn't do high altitude climbing:) You should see Ueli's shishapangma solo video

[@CoolaJokern]

@@et803 yeah Honnold is a big wall speed climber, not the same thing as high altitude alpinism and the level of fitness required to just keep the body running and your brain functioning with that little oxygen and at those extreme temperatures. Although Alex is a beast too but it's not the same field really, straight rock climbing and alpinism overlap to some extent but they're not the same thing and require different skillsets

[@daileydestruction]

Did they find the guys body?

[@Pferdekopfnebel]

+Bonkoodle Yes, according to alpinist.com: "At about 4:30 a.m., Seuren fell off the ridge at an elevation of 3,900 meters, dropping 300 meters (985ft) down the Italian side of the mountain. His body was later recovered in a crevasse by French search and rescue personnel. The cause of the accident is still under investigation." www.alpinist.com/doc/web15x/newswire-fatality-in-the-alps-martijn-seuren

Died at an early age but lived a more full life than 10 normal people.

[@cmhardin37]

Sean Donovan full? Other people pursue their passions; they're just not as deadly.

[@KOLBENPFIEL]

You probably sit on your ass a lot huh?

[@flybeep1661]

I often find these types of comments on deaths involving extreme sports. I get these words provide some comfort for a loss but honestly is just total BS. He's still dead and I'm alive. What is considered "full" is also completely subjective. People can feel fully content and "alive" without doing extreme activities. It just depends from person to person. Some people need extremes for that while others don't. What matters is if you still exist or not. When you're dead, that's it. You don't experience anything anymore. In the end, he's dead, I'm not and that's all that matters no matter what you say. Btw, before anyone would accuse me of never having felt alive I did about 900 skydive jumps over a couple of years before quitting, 500 done swooping (1 competition) and about 50 wingsuit (including flying a 30 man formation in France...exceptional for a rookie wingsuiter) and the rest were regular RW fair and fun.

A very reckless climber who came to Everest. Was talk to by Sherpa who knew what was coming for him but he didn't listen because he thought I'm not a normal climber I'm Uli, well it's a damn shame he would not listen

[@lewistaylor2858]

? how did the Sherpa know what was coming for him? he was the best alpinist in the world and a far better climber than any Sherpa.

[@duncare3601]

@@lewistaylor2858 He might have been a better climber but he was also a bigger asshole. When the sherpas are setting up the ladders and fixed ropes in the Khumbu Icefall they ask people not to climb above them for safety reasons. Ueli and two others did anyway for reasons they never bothered to explain.

[@1tyorganist44]

@@duncare3601 And you have been there to witness this episode?have you?

[@duncare3601]

@@1tyorganist44 I'm only going off the accounts of the people who were actually there, sherpas and western climbers both. Just the facts of what happened that day. Number one rule on any mountain aside from personal safety is to NOT be a dick to the locals who make their living in the shadow of the mountain.
