Eiger Nordwand Speed Record - Dani Arnold

[virgoletta]

so..then,,,there is a sort of normal track to get the summit ...where normal people can hike on?...

[mammut]

@virgoletta Oh no! Please on't understand it wrong. You have still to be a very well experienced alpinist to do such a tour by your own! Otherwise, it is really dangerous. If you would like to ascend the Eiger from the other side via the Mittellegi ridge or west ridge please book a guided tour!

and then how did he get down...????

[ferdiashepherds]

Stunning .... Uelil and Dani ..... truly amazing mountain goats the pair of them!

Does anyone know how Ueil crossed the Hinterstoisser Traverse in winter if he didn't use the fixed ropes? Or did he take another route?

[pikeflyfisherman]

@ferdiashepherds he soloed the entire Heckmair route, without any form of fixed lines !

[jimkremII]

Ueli Steck dislikes this

[ilookasian]

I can beat Steck's record in a heartbeat too. Just give me a helicopter. Or fixed ropes everywhere?

[KapitanKremmen]

A fine achievement although according to Wikipedia , Arnold used fixed ropes on the Hinterstoisser Traverse but Steck climbed the route entirely without aid

[outdoormountainman]

Are records set only to be broken, there is always someone faster. They are both excellent climbers!

[alteregoash]

Still, Steck was a pioneer in speed. Once he set that record, it doesn't matter who beats it, when Steck did it, it was unheard of and visionary.

Waiting for the return of Ueli Steck from Himalaya ;P..

What's next, what's next?!
