Rest in peace, Ueli Steck. Even I am not a mountaineer, this man is a great example of passion and dedication.

R.I.P. Ueli Steck. Respekt für deine Leistungen und Rekorde. We will never forget you.

When I watch his videos I cannot believe he is not among us anymore. Watching his videos for me is like he is still with us :) RIP

Jeder folgt in seinem Leben einer Straße. Keiner weiß vorher, wann und wo sie endet. Alle hinterlassen Spuren und manche kreuzen unseren Weg. Einige, die wir trafen, werden wir nicht vergessen. Auch wenn sie für immer gehen, in unseren Herzen und unserer Erinnerung bleiben sie. Ruhe in Frieden lieber Uli, viel zu früh musstest du gehen

RIP Ueli Steck. A true wonder of humanity.

Dean Potter, David Lama, Brad Gobright, Ueli Steck are just a few good climbers that have perished that I know of. Inge Perkins and Hayden Kennedy was pretty sad too. Rip Ueli

Unsäglich traurig nehme ich Kenntnis vom Tod eines grandiosen Alpinisten und eindrücklichen, faszinierenden Menschen. Seinen Angehörigen, insbesondere seiner Frau, und seinen Freunden wünsche ich Kraft und Trost. Mein tief empfundenes Beileid!

Crying here (Northern Irishman living in Latvia). I loved Ueli Steck, for me, the number one mountaineer of our age. I just can't take this in. I'm just numb. An amazing achiever on the Eiger. I just can't accept this. May God comfort his family.

This morning when I heard the news about his death I couldn't believe them. But this is how it works... You keep following your dreams, living your passion... And you live it so deeply that you don't even mind to die for it.

R.I.P. Ueli Steck, you will never be forgotten, an absolute inspiration on and off the mountain, may you rest in peace, and much strength to his wife and family in those dark days. He died doing what he loved, not many can stake that claim. His work ethic, perseverance and fearlessness have inspired me to try and pursue my goals and passions more ruthless and uncompromisingly. Thanks for all you did!!!

Such a charismatic, enduringly strong, talented climber with a endlessly refreshing outlook. Gone but never to be forgotten.RIP.

R.I.P. My man. you will always be an inspiration not only to climbers but to mankind. Your life in two words: No limit!

,,The mountains loved him mountains took him,, RIP

You think that it has to happen at one point. But he keeps coming back, having reached new heights, seemingly with ease. So your mind accepts it. It's Ueli. He'll come back. Then on a Sunday morning you get up and the news that he died slaps you in the face. This is unexpected. But I have to remind myself, what does it matter if you live 40 or 80 years. It only matters if you can do what you desire and achieve what you dream of. 40 or 80 are just arbitrary numbers. I will try to make peace with this now. My heart goes out to his family. Bye Ueli.

You're a big inspiration Ueli! we will never forget you! R.I.P.

Ueli Steck should be remembered in the same inspiring company as the legendary explorers of all time. Not just a climber but an inspiration for us all. He diid what was not considered possible. He didn't give up. He dd not fail. We will miss you.

RIP Ueli Steck! A phenomenon of athlete!

Ueli seemed to be a real passionate, sympathetic guy. It's inspiring to see how much he loved what he did. His life and what he made of it is a success. Thank you & rest in peace, Ueli!

Unbelievable that he's no longer with us :'( He started his last climb towards heaven... :'( RIP Ueli!

Never heard if this man until 24 hours ago watching Mountaineering videos on KZfaq. From I have seen this guy was the Michael Jordan of his sport and just a outstanding person. RIP to a true giant of his time.

RIP YOU BEAUTIFUL SOUL!!!!!!! Thank you for showing us all what passion and determination is. Thank you

I gained so much courage from this man. I am grateful for his legacy. Rest Peacefully. You are the Perfect Mountain Climber.

Ueli Steck rest in peace, your ascents and activities will be a reference and object of inspiration for climbers from all over the world for a long time.

Today is a sad day. A great mountaineer is gone from us. Always thought you are doing the impossible. May your next life be as great as this one. R.I.P.

Never heard of him till today but he was definitely a great man that died doing what he is passionate about. RIP

Damn. This is sad to watch. Rest In Peace. One of the most inspiring athletes of our time.

RIP one of the best mountaineer ever lived, as a younger generation we should train hard and carry on the dream

RIP Ueli. Truly a legend and an inspiration to many.

The greatest climber on the planet, RIP !

I was lucky enough to meet Ueli 'The swiss machine' Steck last November during a talk. I have always been deeply impressed by his speed climb of the Eiger north face as well as his project '82 summits'. Being the alpine and climbing enthusiast I am, it is oddly more saddening to read from his fatal accident while his acclimatation for his 'Everest-Lhotse' project. I never felt bad when hearing from another dead mountaineer, but this time it feels different though. Maybe because I met and chatted with him. My warmest condolences to his family, may he rest in peace.

At 5:49 It made me very very emotional. RIP.

Ueli was awesome to watch. I will miss him even though I never met him. He was contagious for me even though I'm just a Trekker I push my trekking farther because of Inspiration gained from watching and reading about Ueli. I think he did that for a lot of people from all walks of life. That's pretty awesome and it's more then most do in a lifetime.

what a pure Soul! RIP Ueli

May your soul rest in peace Ueli. You're a true legend.

Rest in peace Ueli. Such an inspiration will be never forgotten!

*RIP Ueli!! A hero indeed!! Brave!! Adventurous!! Must I go on??!! U r deeply missed!!*

You have been an inspiration to go farther and higher -in the mountains, and in life. And may you rest in peace, for you will continue to be...

The Swiss Machine, a hero. RIP Ueli. Rueh i Fridä

R.I.P. you'll always be remembered. Your last and eternal expedition started, you are free now.

I'm 28 years old and I'm living on a Pannonian plain whole my life, I love nature since my childhood but now I'm interesting in mountaineering and alpinism and I hope I will start with those activities soon. Anyway I watched many, many documentaries and videos last couple of months and I read a lot of articles and books. Your work is really crossing boundaries of possible. It should be motivation for everyone in the world. I hope you will have clear sky and days without wind for your ascent. I will follow every news about this project and I will cross my fingers for your success.

Never heared of him before and checked all his projects from the past. Very inspiring person, straight plan, solid characted from what I saw and heared. So it must have been some real accident not caused by unexperience or something like that. Really sad but a big inspiration for sure ! RIP Ueli Steck.

Oh Ueli, we miss you. Watching this video I feel the kinship of mountaineers as you prepare and plan your trip; pouring over maps and reading old trip reports, such a pleasure and a big part of the experience. RIP.

This was tough to watch. With a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye. You inspired me to keep pushing. God bless you Ueli.

RIP. A great inspiration...

I love his Swiss mentality of I am not the only person in the world. I miss his grounded perspective and humility when it comes to mountaineering. A true inspiration, rest in peace

Ueli vola sopra i cieli dell'Everest, sei stato un grande!

" The Legendary Swiss Machine " ...Respect from India 🇮🇳

R.I.P. Ueli Steck Dein Leben waren die Herausforderungen. Nun bist du bei einer deiner grössten Herausforderung gescheitert. Deine Leistungen und Bilder bleiben unvergessen. Meine Gedanken und Beileid an die ganze Familie.

This makes me so amped to know you're back at Everest and taking the old Hornbein route too! Thanks for constantly redefining what can actually be done up there. Safe travels and many prayers will be sent your way!

Es ist schön das es noch Filme gibt, in denen man diesen tollen und mutigen Menschen und Sportler noch sehen kann. Sehr, sehr schade das es so gekommen ist.

A true Legend of Mountaineers, he will live forever in The Pantheon of Greats. RIP Ueli.

Rest in Peace Ueli und sehr grosser Respekt für dein Mut und deine Weltrekorde.😭

a great loss for humanity. nothing but respect from Italy for the fastest aplinist who has ever lived.

R.I.P, Ueli. A super-human but modest human.

Rest in peace Genius, you inspired everyone who loves the mountain. You are a legend of mountaineering.

RIP Ueli my true hero

You will always be the benchmark and the inspiration for the new generation. You are forever, like the mountains that you conquered. 🙏🏻

Ueli was an amazing inspiration. Thoughts are with his family and friends. May we all live such a full life as him

R.I.P. Ueli Steck. You will be sorely missed.

Rest In Peace brother... You were a true inspiration. I love mountains and Everest is the main attraction. Respect and Love from India. 🙏🙋😞

RIP Ueli! you'll always be a great inspiration for humanity!

I am not a mountaineer but i can understand the flames inside them. What can i say? They live their dreams and dying to the beloved mountains. R.I.P Ueli in the mountains that your heart always loved 💜. We the living people will never forget you.

I never was a climber, use to watch his videos in class at school, can't believe his gone. Rip Ueli

with my deepest condolence! i really admire your attitude and your passion, rest in peace Uli 💚

Unsuccessful, by your definition. And, Unforgettable. A Legend for the Ages.

RIP Ueli! You were/are an inspiration to so many across the globe, showing them a world that they may never see or experience. Found it sort of haunting when he was giving his definition of failure, looking right into the camera.... but he died doing what he loves.

Rest in piece, you've already been a successful man, a fantastic Alpine climber, a real mountaineer, thank you for your beautiful climbing.

Ueli du bist einfach der geilste!

Hello Ueli, you are one of the mountaineer that I really looked after and the day when I heard the news I was froze for a while coz I knew it’s possible impossible mission i should say, that you were attempting .. things went bad I guess during the warm up session in nuptse .. where ever you are brother , always be happy .. you will always remain in our memory and I always kept telling other people about your achievement .. thank you Fellow Nepalese lads here 🙏

A truly inspiring man. Shows that if you try hard enough, your dreams are possible, no matter how much time it takes to get there. Doesn't mean we will all achieve them, but it is possible! And what a climber!

R.I.P Ueli Steck a truly inspirational person.

R.I.P. Swiss Machine!!!!!!!!

This man speaks - if he speaks directly into the soul. He is fantastic

I learnt so much from you. And I am not an alpinist. Greetings from our planet.

RIP Ueli, you remain the strongest beam of light for many of us.

I keep coming back here to remember Ueli Steck. Just can't get over his demise.

I believe Ueli would have pulled it off......Watched this a few days ago and now Ueli is gone. Hard to believe. The world is poorer.

RIP. LOVED WHAT YOU DID FOR THE SPORT. THE INSPIRATION AND LIVE YOU GAVE TO THE WORLD OF MOUNTAINEERING. SLEEP TIGHT X

i was trekking Everest Base Camp recently 10 - 19 April 2017. I might see you on 1 of trek probably. RIP Ueli. you're my nowadays idol climber 😭 your soul lives forever in our heart on Everest.

Remarkable man. Just like listening to the music of JS Bach, to think about him, his attitudes and his character has a cleansing effect on the soul. For a short while, it wipes away the grubby selfish shortsightedness and the avaricious materialism that afflicts human society and in turn blights the planet. Danke, Ueli.

JRE BROUGHT ME HERE! RIP Ueli Steck

" the only definition I do - is like - to be not successful is just ... if you have an accident or your gonna die - that is definitely not successful " - Ueli Steck ... a tragic outcome

If we all lived with such passion, joy, and courage. Godspeed Ueli

RIP, Ueli... What a loss

Rip Ueli miss your smiling face band your kind manners. A real gentleman & super climber in the same man. Keep on climbing in the sky

It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live. == Marcus Aurelius You certainly lived and now you can climb the highest peaks the Universe has to offer Ueli. Thanks for the inspiration which reminds us all that we can and must press forward and upward without fear. Rolland B. Heiss

Rest in peace, Ueli Steck! We, the Nepali people have lost a great friend.

Ueli we all miss you so much. You were an inspiration to us all. Rest in peace friend.

No doubt one of the best mountaineers of his generation. A sad loss.

Un dia muy triste ! R.I.P. Ueli Steck, alpinista y persona admirable

A young man that lived a more full life than 15 normal people.

Ruhe in Frieden. :-(

There are no bold old climbers, there are only old bold climbers. RIP UELI one of the greatests among his kind !

RIP UELI. Your Spirit will be immortal and the legions of climbers you have inspired will carry your legacy forward. My hearfelt condolence to your family. Irreparable loss to the climbing community.

RIP Ueli. You are an inspiration.

Good luck from Cape Town, Ueli!

R.I.P # # # The mountains loved him mountains took him..... # # # Es gibt Schicksalsschläge im Leben zu denen man keine Worte findet.

✝️ See, when someone dies, he fades away into forgottenness. Even such a good person, as Ueli. We can only hope that somewhere, he lives on, or that he will live again. ✝️

The loss of a legend.

And you raged until the very end, God Bless and RIP Ueli, were gonna miss seeing you climb
