The body of famed Swiss climber Ueli Steck is unloaded from a helicopter at Teaching Hospital in Kathmandu, Nepal, April 30, 2017. 40-year-old Steck, one of the most-renowned mountaineers of his generation, was killed Sunday in a mountaineering accident near Mount Everest in Nepal, expedition organizers said. He was best known for his speed-climbing, including setting several records for ascending the north face of the Eiger, a classic mountaineering peak in the Bernese Alps that he climbed in two hours and 47 minutes without using a rope.
