When Ueli Steck announced his solo ascent of the South Face of Annapurna in the fall of 2013, it was clear: it was the mountaineering achievement of the century. However, proof was lacking – what followed was one of the greatest controversies in mountaineering. The text neither attempts to provide proof nor counter-proof, but rather lays out all the arguments for and against. Afterward, each reader must decide for themselves.
