Farewell Ueli Steck - Truly a god amongst mountaineers.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-39761904

The Swiss climber Ueli Steck has been killed preparing to climb Mount Everest, Nepal's tourist office says.

Steck, who was known as the "Swiss Machine", died in an accident while acclimatising for an attempt on the mountain without oxygen by a new route.

Here's a clip of his famous Eiger North wall climb that he completed in under 3 hours. Truly amazing when you think that it takes mere mortals days to complete the same climb.
