Virus! I've missed you!

Also, it would be amazing if it was you in this video.

On second thought, never mind. That is quite dangerous!

Yeah.. I get nervous just stepping up to a seventh story window in the building I work in. I don't do well with heights. Which is weird since I enjoy flying...

Same, totally different though. Planes don't just freefall all of a sudden. Plus there's seatbelts.

They're more likely to freefall than a building or a mountain. =P
But yeah.. there's probably a "me" element to it. I don't trust myself not to trip off a cliff or through a window. Hard to trip out of a plane.

Steck did this on the Heckmaier route on the North face. When this route was first done in 1938, it took a team of 4 climbers 3 days to climb.
Ueli Steck free climbed the entire route without any protection or belays in 2hours, 47minutes.
The next fastest time on record is 4hours. 40minutes.
Steck is currently in the Himalayas and has solo'd Shishapangma in 10.5 hours on April 16, 2011.

Thought 1: Shoulda used Portals.

Thought 2: Woulda been even rad-der if he jumped off wearing one of those wing suits and free-glided down to base camp in like a minute. Still, rad though.
