Who Needs Rope? Not This Guy

File this under “Stupid But Bad-Ass”. Ueli Steck scaled a 4,000-ft high rock face on Mont Blanc, Europe’s tallest peak, without the aid of ropes or a harness. The only equipment he used was a pair of pickaxes and crampons, the metal spikes climbers attach to their shoes.

      Those are ice-axes, not pick axes. He’s a climber, not a prospector.

      What benschomatic said. Plus, this is the Eiger, not Mont Blanc. The elevation is 3970 m.

      Hard to tell where that guys balls ended and the mountain began. Absolutely amazing. And at least he was safety conscious enough to wear a helmet.

      With a little more research, you could have linked to the original video of this feat (from February, with over 1,000,000 views) and tacked on the fact that this solo climb was a record-breaker.
