Mountain Hardwear and Snow+Rock will be hosting a night with Ueli Steck during which he will be sharing his latest line of feats, including his reclaimed Eiger record, in only 2 hours, 22 minutes. The lecture titled ‘Ueli Steck/Magic Moments’ will be held at the London Geographical Society on 22 January.
2015 proved to be a big year for Steck, including his ‘82 Summits’ project in the Alps this summer, where he climbed all 82 4,000m peaks in the Alps in 62 days, using only human power. He achieved this by climbing, biking and paragliding between each peak. To help prepare him for his adventure, the Mountain Hardwear product team worked with Ueli for 18 months to create the kit needed to take him the distance, including baselayers, insulation, shells, and a backpack. This kit will be available to consumers in Spring 2016 exclusively from Snow+Rock stores in London Covent Garden and Leeds.
Tickets will go on sale for Ueli’s lecture on the 14th December through www.worldexpeditions.co.uk – and World Expeditions will be present at the evening with its brand new 2016 ‘Classics’ brochure.
