He Was Loved. Then Hated. Then Dead.

Video Description

It was April 30th, 2017, and Ueli Steck had no idea it would be the last day of his life. The man who was celebrated as one of the most talented athletes in the world would make a single mistake. And that mistake would send him falling 3,000 feet through the freezing air. But this wasn't just any climbing accident. This is the story of a man who went from being worshipped as a superhuman athlete to becoming one of the most hated figures in mountaineering history... in just 6 months. From hero sprinting the most dangerous mountain in Switzerland to being called a fraud, to angry sherpas' ice axes fight- today I'm taking you inside the story of how the world's most beloved athlete became its most hated.
