Best known for his speed climbs in the Alps, Ueli Steck (or the ‘Swiss Machine’) was considered one of the premier alpinists of his time.
Ueli Steck: My Life in Climbing is the first English-language translation of his writings, where he shares his extraordinary experiences the Eiger and Annapurna, as well as his phenomenal accomplishment of climbing 82 peaks in 62 days.
Reflective and revealing, this is an honest, compelling portrait of a phenomenal climber.
