Same mindset applied to Alpine Style solo climbing by Ueli Steck

Ueli Steck is the Man. But probably he's half droid.

Only half?

Ueli Stech is awesome. Here a few more cool videos of him speed climbing...

That Grandes Jorasses video is just nuts it shows the approach too which is great because sometimes they just show the climb but getting there is half the battle. Imagine putting that kind of climb after digging a spot for a tent the night before, sleeping there, freezing your a$$ off, then getting up bright and early and beating all the odds ... Just nuts!

I've seen Giga move, with a little more training I think he can beat him
