‘Swiss Machine’ Ueli Steck killed in Mt Everest accident

KATHMANDU: Ueli Steck (41), popularly known as ‘Swiss Machine’ in the
mountaineering world was killed in an accident near Camp II on Mt Everest on 
Sunday morning, multiple sources at the base camp of the world’s highest 
peak confirmed.

A group of six rescuers discovered a body of the multiple-record holder 
mountaineer near Nuptse Face of the Mt Everest where he could have slipped
and fell on the ice-covered slope. “The team has collected the scattered 
parts of the climber’s body.” A Fishtail Air helicopter has also been sent
to Camp II to conduct a long line rescue, according to a source at base camp.

Swiss alpinist Steck and Tenzing (Tenji) Sherpa headed to Khumbu region to
attempt to climb Mt Everest by never repeated West Ridge/Hornbein Couloir 
route without using supplemental oxygen in the spring climbing season. They
also set out a plan to make a descend to the South Col before taking the once
climbed direct route just below the Lhotse Face to obtain that summit record.

原文其他重複過去歷史的東西略


可能是近代最重要且著名的攀岩/登山者，享年僅 40 歲

已經有一次不帶氧氣從南坳上聖母峰的記錄

同時也是目前速攀艾格北壁(2小時22分)跟曾是馬特洪峰北壁(1小時56分)的紀錄保持者

這次在三天走西稜上聖母峰接洛子峰下的計畫墜落

據稱是在奴子峰面滑落至 Camp II 方向


前幾天還看到他 FB 在 Camp II 的照片，難以置信

二月他才剛在昆布山區走完 EBC 3 passes 加上島峰當練習暖身


最近山神真的收走太多人了......

補上 Ueli 官方臉書的聲明：

Information to the media

Ueli Steck deadly injured

Ueli Steck was killed while trying to climb Mount Everest and the Lhotse. His
family has learned of his death today. The exact circumstances are currently
unknown. The family is infinitely sad and asks the media builders to refrain
from speculation about the circumstances of his death due to respect for Ueli.
As soon as there are reliable findings on the causes of Uelis Steck's death,
the media will be informed. The family asks the media for understanding that
they will not provide any further information at the time.

家屬要求媒體在了解確切肇因前不要對 Ueli 的死多作揣測
等到事故原因確認後會對外發佈統一的資訊
