ryland_moore Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 While this was discussed on this board in Feb 2008 when Ueli broke his own speed record (2hr47m), I have never seen this video. He is not human: http://www.flixxy.com/speed-soloing-eiger-record-ueli-steck.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevbone Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Good God. I cant imagine climbing that with a rope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_b Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Doesn't he wobble as if he was about to lose his balance a couple of times? It looks like out of control knucklehead climbing to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 "out of control knucklehead"...those are not the words that come to mind when i watch that (I think maybe Polishbob posted a higher rez version of this video a couple months ago?). Definitely beyond any limits I have had or will ever. People do amazing things and take incredible risks, I don't think that makes them knuckleheads.

eldiente Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 FYI..This is bootlegged footage from this year's Reel Rock. You can pay $19 and download the full HD movie (really good flick btw) Supporting hard working filmmakers is always good karma. http://www.bigupproductions.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Furley Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Or you can download it for free here and decide if it's really worth $19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
