If you are someone who likes to spend your free time in the mountains, or at least thinking about mountains, then I probably don’t have to tell you who Ueli Steck is. The is breaking alpinism records left and right, and is rightfully called “The Swiss Machine” He has climbed the Eiger in Switzerland in under three hours, and that is only one of his super human accomplishments. Recently, after learning to paraglide, He decide to marry the sports of paragliding and mountaineering into one by linking up three of Switzerlands legendary peaks in one day, using his paraglider between mountains. Basically, he would climb one, then paraglide to the start of the next climb and do it again. What a way to travel!
Check out this video preview about the film coming to Reel Rock 8 this year.
