Fourty-one summits down and 41 to go, with 53 days left. On Tuesday Ueli Steck hit the halfway point of his 82 Summits project.
Steck, a Swiss mountainieer, began the trip on June 10, alongside 25-year-old Michi Wohlleben of Germany. They planned to climb all 82 peaks over 4,000 meters in the Alps by man-power—hiking, skiing, biking and paragliding their way through Switzerland, Italy and France.
“We are doing it just for fun,” Steck wrote on Facebook. “For the love of the mountains.”
