Elcap is in there too. Lengthy conversation between Alex and Ueli at 3:40.

Saw it at the premiere Reel Rock Tour. Best part of the entire night in my opinion. Dude is way out there, very bold.

If he teams up with Alex Honnold for a longer time I think we're gonna see some jawdropping stuff...

How is it even physically possible to train that much? You'd have to sleep 16 hours a day while being IV'd with supervitamin / amino acid / testosterone / HGH. Genetic freak, I say.

Ueli is a classic gent and scholar of amazing Alpinism.

Don't believe everything you hear in a video made by a professional climber to further his career.

Mark, of course he is trying to further his career. This is his job and he is really f*#king good at it. Just like someones ascent of El Cap throwing shameless plugs for some coffee. No one called you on that right? Cause no one cares. It is cool that you have a product that you make a living off of and can share with others. Ueli is the real deal. Not a complete self promoting idiot like most of the "team" members on most company websites. This guy is out setting records, and doing them on all aspects. So chill out Mark, you really have been coming off lately like a bitter old man that is pissed that he never got a shot at the title of "professional" climber. Mark you had a great solo of the cap, have a great climber career, but maybe cut the ones who are pushing the envelope some slack and give your support to the ones who are making it possible for some of us to dream bigger and train harder.

There's something wrong with finishing a climb and looking at your stopwatch! It's not a freakin marathon.

Heh heh

I bet a lot of people secretly wish they could be like Ueli Steck and climb like that.

Eh Hudon?
