Ueli Steck - "Making of" The North Face Trilogy

[@invictus3598]

A phenomenal climber and colorful personality! He will be missed, always.

[@docmine]

He was indeed one of the most impressive people we've had the privilege to work with.

[@sleeve51]

Fabulous video. Ueli is a force to be reckoned with. Nuff' said!

[@Kariakas]

It's scary how getting the footage is maybe even more dangerous then the climb he did, Ueli is an inspiration.

[@luckey4980]

Fantastic, what an achievement, what a climber. My hat (helmet) off to Him! Thank you for posting this.

[@aussiepaul76]

I recall reading somewhere that, unlike some of the other Eiger speed climbers, Ueli didn't use the fixed ropes at the Hinterstoisser Traverse and climbed it unaided. There's a reference to it on the Wikipedia page for the Eiger.

[@julialimpin9755]

ohmy!..u really amazed me..and all with u--good job!!!

[@Jegiro]

Ueli, you were arguably the greatest climber in history, and will be sorely missed. Incredible feats of physical and mental strength!!

[@HardwareAddiction]

Amazing feat. I watched the German film "Nordwand" several times and it always fascinates me how freaking dangerous this climb was and is.

[@lambrenedettoxvi]

incredibile...

[@rodrigoruttimann5778]

RIP Ueli:(

[@RabidzIITargetmaster]

A seriously amazing guy that has a serious skill. I mean lower oxygen as he go's up the mountain and is still going up them at a serious speed

[@petersiegfriedkrug]

honesty, very honesty!

[@crystal4u123]

amazing

[@Bizz420]

Those minerals specimen behind Bosch. I’m jealous.

[@danitschudin]

Absolutly crazy truly a machine wow

[@GregEva]

A great behind the scenes look at some amazing work (the climbing and the filming)! Thank you for putting this together. It would have just been nicer if it were HD or even higher quality than 320px. For those looking for the resulting footage, just search for "Uli Stek Hardware Sessions North Face". I think there are a few parts to it.

[@chris1986123]

Straight up is straight up, but let's also not pretend it's possible to get to the bottom of any face and just go. Groups of climbers would normally take 2-3 days to climb this thing - the 1938 route tests many climbers to their limits.There's also an incredible amount of history in that route - many climbers, especially of Ueli's generation, will have read The White Spider and in doing this route are realising a dream. By the way, anyone know what he did at the Hinterstoisser Traverse?

[@OutWithTheWildThings]

where is the original video!?

[@smartbody2456]

Thumbs up!!!

[@BenduONE]

1:37 "If you're shitting during an ascent, you can't perform with your limit, it's just not possible"

[@michelebenini8125]

My hero

[@tombennett29]

Ueli is fuckin fearless!

[@johnganshow5536]

RIP Ueli...

[@eltfell]

Wenn er genauso schnell wieder unten war, hatte das einen Vorteil: Er mußte unterwegs nicht scheißen.

[@mbree3998]

you wonder how they made this, i understand now, RIP it is such an step and achievement ...

[@Ziaurelijus]

How did he died??

[@Idalg87]

The guys climbing vertical rock and ice at thousands of feet! Im very fit but i certainly couldnt do that.

[@chris1986123]

Shit... good effort! Cheers

[@DBoonful]

to Eecallawanhoj below. Can't wait to see the video or your solo ascent of the North Face of the Eiger.... champ. Tell you what -start off easy and post your Matterhorn vid first please.

[@paolocalderonlopez787]

mortal...

[@jaydee1532]

He danced with death .... and death decide to marry him in 2017 .... RIP

[@kamakirinoko]

Poor Ueli . . . he flew too high.

[@kristine6996]

I love the Suiss accent...

[@aaronhenry9294]

Watch the climber climb, watch the climber fall. That's all no more climber, the end.

[@FistyCarrera]

240p lol

[@pikiwiki]

someone called the guy who climbed the frkkn Eiger mountain a wuss? A wuss? What on earth measurements of badassessness are being used here?

[@mardelcosmos2121]

Would have been useful the use of filming drones

[@enderwigin1306]

Also dont think that drones can resist winds of 80 kph?

[@Just.A.T-Rex]

They do now.

[@MrMakan1]

People die on Eiger pretty regularly so I'm not sure "wuss" is the right word to describe this guy. Personally, I'm just going to call him my new hero from now on :)

[@Idalg87]

No ropes? Fucking nutter! Makes me proud to be a human for once

[@sogseal8600]

Am I wrong or is there not even a video of his fast climb up the Matterhorn??? How come? Sbaglio o non c'è nemmeno un video della sua salita veloce sul cervino??? Come mai?

[@polyannamoonbeam]

Amazing - big risks big result. the greatest gift for the climber will be an upglide parachute ...the thought of falling, is too much.

[@JonathanVCQ]

*U E L I T H E L E G E N D*

[@c.g.c2067]

The Star Sytem killed Ueli; fame, glory, media, sponsors and money pushed Ueli to dare too much and die.

[@jarnold1789]

Of course there were external pressures but he knew exactly what he was getting himself into and the risk associated with it. He made his choices

[@c.g.c2067]

@@jarnold1789 it doesn't work like this

[@jarnold1789]

@@c.g.c2067 So you believe he was weak minded then? Look at his accomplishments, I find that hard to believe. Read his book and listen to him in his own words, he knew exactly what risks he was taking and he did it out of passion, not because of external pressures

[@c.g.c2067]

@@jarnold1789 no its just that you get involved into a loop where you need to perform more, better, faster to fullfill modern society's demands. It's a problem of society and how much they pay you to do things.

[@jarnold1789]

@ That’s fair, it probably was a factor

[@ast453000]

wish I could be half as good a he is

[@draugtroll]

You are from mexico, you have never experienced cold fingers.

[@MaxxBru]

i cud easily do that.

[@chena3]

stop at the top...

[@robert12233445]

give this guy a break, we all know he would piss himself if he got ten feet off the ground

[@SirAlexNewton]

Funny you call him a wuss, but he is out there free climbing huge mountains while you're sitting in your desk chair browsing youtube.

[@Chrisdentandt]

I bet you that you couldn't climb your stairs with 100 pound dumbbell weights strapped to your ankles. Think that your better than this guy? Go on then, show him how it's done.

[@monikamichaelis-iw3to]

Well, obviously not good enough.
