In the final episode of “The Classic Alpinist”, Ueli Steck struggles with the decision of whether or not to continue his project, following the tragic death of his friend and fellow alpinist Martijn Seuren. Accompanied by his good friend and mountain photographer Jonathan Griffith, Ueli decides to get back on track along one of the most beautiful routes of the 82 Summits Project in the Italian Mont Blanc Massif. He still has the entire Grandes Jorasses ridge to climb before he can move toward Gran Paradiso and the final 82nd summit of the project, Barre des Ecrins. How long will the challenge take in the end, and from where and how does Ueli find the spirit to finish his project? EpicTV and Goal Zero present "The Classic Alpinist”, a special 4-part series. Join Ueli and the team as they battle their way through the ups and downs of a brand new take on a classic alpine challenge.

"No matter what, just go climbing -it doesn't have to be the first ascent, that's the thing that drives me" Amazing words, applicable to all walks of life.

[@eupsychon]

This video feels like the epilogue to Ueli's amazing life. He was such a great guy. An ambassador for the sport and true genuine outdoorsman. It's amazing how we can all totally relate to his feelings and perspective. RIP Ueli!

[@teejay3272]

I kind of saw it that way too.

[@petersiegfriedkrug]

But his thinking that all must be in speed tempo I can´t share. Steck make what th whole world are doing: more speed and more speed. The computer must be more speed, the Internet must be more speed, the car must be more speed. Steck is running away the moment in the present

[@rajksk1965]

RIP UELI. What an amazing individual. full of life and courage. What great acheivments he has done in a short and eventful life. My condolences to your family. You are truly one in a million. Some of the cliffs he has climbed needs nerves of steel.

[@GoJMe]

rather one in a billion I would say. Lived like a God, died like a Legend... RIP Ueli...

You are going to be always remembered !

[@3vimages471]

Wowwwww ... Ueli is truly amazing!

[@sunshinemajaw6499]

Reacord stand still, in decade s to come.

[@Jirconny]

Rest in peace Ueli. Your legacy will not be forgotten

[@bobeatschocolate]

Such a sick project man! Congratulations!

[@kevinbrooks1104]

Ueli , I miss you bro. It makes me sad the Ueli was always chasing . pushing the envelope , always trying to one up his last peak or goal. Seems like he was just not willing ,to rest on passed performance. He took me as a person so full of ambition and in the moment always pushing the limits of even his own capabilities. I wish he had a slow down mode. Where ever he is I wish him peace.

[@pbielek]

Uli congrats!

[@MegaKingjam]

very very cool

[@JesusChristIsLord__]

4:28 How prophetic. It was estimated he fell a 1000 meters to his death...

[@petersiegfriedkrug]

Steck was like million other peoples : running away always.. He is never in the present

[@Gigaamped]

I would love to know what his stipulations were for using help. I think the cycling aspect was a great idea but how did his gear get from place to place. I find it interesting considering Ueli's character and aptitude for self inflicted suffering haha

[@HardwareAddiction]

Unbelievable

[@shirleyhassenzahl902]

I wonder what he was thinking on the way down! Was it really worth it😱 I can’t even climb a ladder!

[@incidentalist]

Probably not too much, just damn - this is it. Probably over in an instant! RIP

[@pinarozge6895]

Why did he finish the project by solo climbing? He started with another climber (Michi). Also, I could not find part 2 of this Epic Tv video series.

[@renateholobek]

R.I.P. Uerly Steck!

[@Trumppower]

Wow really sad ending of him. RIP ueli.

[@jonathansmiles3510]

What is the credit music?

[@Trefalas]

Finally found it :) Aerial Glow - Richard Lewis and Thomas Arthur Swindells

[@ddeakpeti]

Anyone knows where is that cool shelter house at 1:50?

[@ThePotatoSmash]

I think they built one on the Mont Blanc, near Chamonix, France. Not sure though...

[@stonersixtynine2980]

This is the bivouac de l’eccles - mont blanc massif - i think one of the famous technical routes to do from the bivouac is l’hypercouloir du brouillard?

[@PedroSilva1976]

RIP Ueli

[@ptholb1336]

RIP ueli

[@petersiegfriedkrug]

Amazing,certainly but he took too much risk! Is it great to take so much risk or is this a big weakness?

[@AllenMacCannell]

How it ended: He was trying to quickly summit Nuptse next to Everest and Lohtse overlooking the western cym. It was like a practice run for him where he would be down for lunch or supper soon. Just below the summit he either slipped or a rock broke loose and he fell 1000m into the western cym, sadly not in one piece. I hope he lived a good life before that, outside of climbing.

[@januszj.8547]

That is it .Mountains should not be sport arenas. Life is short dont make it shorter for really trivial reasons like fame and money! Sponsors closed Uli account and said Next !!!

[@januszj.8547]

@Abu Dabu You now nothing about me but you Are flapping your lips soy boy. Got you gym membership yet ?

[@rnkks3752]

@@januszj.8547 unfortunately you know not too much about mountaineering

[@Daneiladams555]

Hard to believe he fell 3000 ft to his death It doesn't take much to make a mistake Rip

[@kev199369]

That hut in the mountain they stayed at after the rainy hike?!?!?! any one know where that is or what route you do to get there?? I need to visit that!!!!!!!! please some one help?!

[@codyk.8104]
