Warum ist er so stolz keine Zeit zu haben!

Super man!
-
The amount of people who died trying to scale this for the first time (in teams with ropes) then this bloke just climbs it solo, free climbing (no ropes) in a record time. Wow!
-
I don't understand how he can do this in 2 hours like it's a simple hike/run up a mountain, yet others spent days getting lost on routes, stuck on slick vertical traverses, or falling or freezing to death. I just don't understand.

I would never do this shit for all the money in the world. I gotta say these people that Climb have Ball of fucking Brass. More guts in their middle finger than most of us do in a large intestine including the colon. The Eiger fascinates me
-
Impressive but not safe. More like controlled doses of risk :)
-
Amazing how Ueli just destroys conventional mountain climbers and all their dangling ropes and clicking, clanging pitons and hooks! Just three thiings, conditioning, guts and ice axes......

He is doing unexpected things...now it is enough, I wish he could quit
-
1:07 in a safe way...He is just asking for death. 100 times he does it, 101 could be less lucky. A simple mistake could send him down 1 km... Man, respect your family, mother. You are not alone.

After reading Heinrich Harrers "The White Spider" this feat is nothing more than unfathomable in it's grace and achievement. Absolutely mesmerising.

awesome, really awesome

Ce sympathique petit bonhomme est un extra terrestre. Souhaitons qu'il ne lui arrive pas un mauvais coup et qu'il puisse longtemps galoper dans les montagnes
-
Amazing. Free climb the H. traverse?
-
Absolutely mental how fast these guys are climbing such long routes!
-
How to die climbing a mountain ever faster! Is there a record for speed reached falling down the Eiger?
-
Totally amazing what this man accomplished setting this record. I would agree with him that the climb should be about the experience rather than attempting to set records.

this guy climped up a the eiger nordwand in 2 hours , i played games on my ps4 the last 2 hours ... hmmm

"classic wheelchair route"

Health and fitness aside, I can honestly say that I wish I had this guy's courage, head for heights, expertise and stamina...
...also, I'm glad I don't have this guy's courage, head for heights, expertise and stamina..!
