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.

“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.
