Start of the shooting. In cooperation with the company Docmine a film will be produced. Speedtrilogy: through the three big Northfaces in the Alps. Jacqueline Schwerzmann is stage-director. Director of photography on the mountain is Robert Bösch. Great images with the cineflex camera directly from the helicopter will guarantee for breathtaking images.
Ueli Steck moved the limits in climbing. Hardly an alpinist is en route so dynamically and willing to take risks on the big ice and rock faces of the world such as the friendly, young exceptional mountaineer from the Swiss Emmental. His spectacular performances so far: the ascent of the three big northfaces in the Alps in record time. In just under two hours he climbed the Matterhorn northface. On the Grandes Jorasses he reached the summit after only two hours and 21 minutes and for the Eiger Northface he needed less than three hours. For the first time he allows the public to participate on his breathtaking summit sprints. He describes enthrallingly the challenges which are need to accomplish these faces. What pushes an individual person to do these things? Why is the style so important for him? Ueli has freed the Eiger Northface, what probably nobody has done before him, in winter time and solo. The record time nearly becomes secondary. In the "Hinterstoisser Quergang" he simply ignored the rope, not even to belay himself. Small details which can have big consequences. But exactly these details are so important to get in the end the perfect and intense experience of total control.
