Extremely Fast Climber

(Video link)

Here's a video clip showing the Swiss climber Ueli Steck in action - known for climbing mountains in an extremely fast pace. Here we see him climbing the 3,970 meter (13,025 ft) tall Eiger mountain in no more than 2 hours 47 minutes and 33 seconds.

Holy cats, man. That's incredible. I was a guide in Colorado years ago and did some extreme exposure stuff, but nothing like this. He's got to have some switch in his brain that lets him just turn off the sense of danger.

Almost as hairy to watch as the tower climbing vid from a while back.
