Ueli Steck ( Alemannic German: [ˈuεli ʃtɛk]; 4 October 1976 – 30 April 2017) was a Swiss rock climber and alpinist. He was the first to climb Annapurna solo via its South Face (though this is disputed by some [1] ), and set speed records on the North Face trilogy in the Alps. He won two Piolet d'Or awards, in 2009 and 2014.
According to The New York Times, the Swiss alpinist Ueli Steck, 40, known for his fast, bold, solo ascents in the Alps, Himalayas, and elsewhere, died on Sunday April 30 on Nuptse during an acclimatization run for the Lhotse Traverse, his goal for this trip to the Everest region.
It is not known what caused Steck to fall, but fall he did, an estimated 1000 meters to his death from 300 metres below the summit. His body was found in the Western Cwm, between camps 1 and 2, and memorial services were held for him in Kathmandu. He is survived by a wife, Nicole Steck. Is Ueli Steck on Race to the Summit?
