Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Steck was considered by many to be one of the strongest climbers who ever livedThe holder of six amazing speed-climbing recordsThe first and only English-language book by this much loved alpinist A climber of incredible strength, Ueli Steck set climbing records for speed and endurance that no one had previously thought possible. This deeply personal and revealing memoir, Ueli Steck: My Life in Climbing, is the only one of his books to be published in English. In 2016, Ueli established a new speed record on Eiger's North Face--beating his own record! That same year he climbed all 82 four-thousand-meter peaks in the Alps within 62 days (traveling between the peaks by bicycle), and summited Annapurna's south face in 28 hours. But the dramatic events of the previous two years--the internationally reported conflict with Sherpas at Mount Everest, and the discovery of Alex Lowe's body on Shishapangma--changed him and made him rethink his approach to the mountains. After withdrawing from the sport for a period, Ueli rediscovered his love of climbing, and in this memoir he explains how his perspective changed. While his drive to achieve in the mountains hadn't diminished, an evaluation of his experiences helped him find a new way to process the emotional and mental challenges that shaped his athletic outlook. Structured around key climbs, Ueli Steck: My Life in Climbing provides the history of each mountain and route, Ueli's reasons for attempting it, what happened on each climb itself, and what he learned from the experience. It also includes some fascinating insights into his training regimen. Ueli infuses his story with the joy and freedom of climbing and running. He is honest, direct and, at times, exhibits the self-absorption common to many elite athletes. Ultimately, however, his experiences brought him to a place of self-awareness and he was no longer the same climber who first set the speed record on the Eiger's North Face. Ueli was determined that he would take only acceptable risks. Unfortunately, Ueli's bar for risk was still very high--he died while on a training climb on the Himalayan peak Nuptse on April 30, 2017.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Ueli Steck fue un alpinista de excepción. Su logro más espectacular fue la trilogía de las tres grandes caras norte de los Alpes, el Eiger, las Grandes Jorasses y el Cervino, en ascensiones rápidas: en total 7 horas y 4 minutos que cambiaron su vida. ¿Dónde reside el atractivo de la velocidad en roca y en hielo? ¿Qué impulsó a este intrépido suizo a seguir evolucionando como alpinista de manera personal y consecuente? La fórmula mágica de su personal forma de entender el alpinismo fue la suma del compromiso y la exposición de sus objetivos con el reto de la velocidad. En este libro, Ueli Steck nos abre su mundo de logros increíbles, y lo enriquece mediante conversaciones personales con leyendas del alpinismo como Walter Bonatti, Christophe Profit y Reinhold Messner. También repasa episodios dramáticos en su vida, como la muerte de Iñaki Ochoa de Olza, que le marcaron profundamente. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Ueli Steck ha sido uno de los mejores alpinistas del mundo, y también el más rápido. Su palmarés ha estado repleto de grandes logros en solitario e innumerables récords en montaña. Pero también vivió momentos sombríos y amargos en sus últimos años. Los dramáticos sucesos del Everest, donde junto a Simone Moro y Jonathan Griffith sufrió el ataque y las amenazas de muerte de un grupo incontrolado de sherpas, una letal avalancha que esquivó en el Shisha Pangma, así como su experiencia límite durante la ascensión en solitario a la Sur del Annapurna, tambalearon profundamente su fe en sí mismo y su confianza en el ser humano. Ueli sintió la muerte muy cerca. Atormentado por estos acontecimientos, tuvo que replantearse los riesgos que estaba dispuesto a asumir en el futuro para conseguir de nuevo recobrar su autoconfianza. Hablar de ello fue parte del proyecto de este libro. Quería pasar página, vivir más serenamente controlando los riesgos. Para ello era necesario dar un paso más, imaginar un nuevo camino, otra vida. . . En este libro narra de manera íntima y sincera no solo sus sensacionales escaladas más recientes antes de su muerte, sino también cómo vivió y asimiló los reveses, y cómo volvió a encontrar la motivación para optimizar su método de entrenamiento. Así fue capaz de alcanzar nuevos logros, como la ascensión de los 82 cuatromiles de los Alpes en apenas 62 días o establecer un nuevo récord de velocidad en la cara Norte del Eiger. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
