Anyone else come across this before?
This guy "runs" (well, he certainly isn't hanging around) up mountains and times his ascents.
Before clicking on the You Tube link, which peaks do you think he will scale?
Each climb will take him between 1 hour 56 and 2 hr 47 min...

He didn't seem to be in any great rush to bomb it back down..........
Wonder if he'll be at Kettlewell on Saturday for Great Whernside?

That's amazing. Wow.
I know, didn't know he was open to bribes............:)Quote:

I'm sure I saw at the start that he climbs a rope, how can you do this without a seconder? I thought it was supposed to be solo, is there a way of using a rope on you own then?
it can be done but it very slow so not sure how he does it.Quote:

Simply awesome!:eek::cool:
he's off to do an 8000m peak next
Well done to him. Immense. :)
He obviously wasn't on his own, someone had to hold the camera! So maybe someone also belayed while he went up the more dangerous sections?Quote:

Looks like he only roped a couple of pitches on the Eiger he was self belayed by his cow's tail leashes on his ice axes most of the time. Truly frightening that is steep stuff.
that was me Toree!;)Quote:

Ueli Steck Triple Speed Climb records on the Eiger, Grand Jorasses and Matterhorn - incredible!!

thanks for that - amazing! I wish i could do that. Can't believe he climbed the Matterhorn in under 2 hours! I plan to climb it myself one day soon, but I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night with cold sweats after dreaming about the 6000ft near vertical drop....
What he does is amazing. I watched a documentary about the Eiger and after watching all these climbers come to grief or take days to get up there, he pops up after breakfast and is back for lunch.
And here I was thinking that I did well running up Snowdon in the snow on Saturday!
Pah, barely any running in that.
Anyways it's all relative innit...:rolleyes:Quote:
