I really don;t care for celebrity or the mess that often surrounds it, but I really would have liked to meet Ueli, he honestly came across as such a genuine, hard working, and really lovely person, and this writing captures that. Thanks.

Thoughts to all those who were close to him.
Ueli Steck, proper legend.
