Swiss climber Ueli Steck is legendary for his feats of speed-alpinism. In this video, released yesterday, Steck takes things to the next level by solo climbing the Eiger, the Mönch and the Jungfrau in the Alps — all in a single day. To accomplish the feat, Steck uses a paraglider to descend each peak after reaching the summit in blistering fashion. We like how he kicks absolute butt (climbing) while also skidding to a near crash during a paraglider landing, and, during a break, sipping a beer on film. Take a look if you want some inspiration on many fronts. —Patrick Murphy
