Ueli Steck is an alpine mountaineer who is famous for his fast climbing records in reaching summits. He has set records in the French alps and in Khumbu region. In 2007 he tried to climb the direct southern flank of Annapurna I but was knocked unconscious by a falling rock. He fell more than 200 feet but survived only with minor bruises concussions. In his second attempt, he had to return because of an avalanche threat. Finally, in 2014 he completed the first solo ascent of Annapurna south face and won his second Piolet d'Or. If you are not shocked by now then you may not have seen Annapurna's south face. I recomment you to just see the video of Ueli steck attempting and i assure that it will be the most adventurous thing you will do for the whole day or even the whole month for some.
