    Ok everyone, if you don't care about speed ascents, LEAVE THIS THREAD NOW!

     

    If you care, here's the story. Soon to be released in the press, but brought to you first by CC.COM investigators.

     

    Chad Kellogg broke the previous speed record on Denali set by Alex Lowe. Alex's record is reported to be 18 1/2 hours (yet to confirm this, but the NPS reports this stat.)

     

    Chad went from base camp, to the summit in 14 hours, 22 minutes. He returned to base camp, round tripping the mountain in 23 hours, 55 minutes.

     

    He did the trip in 3 stages, using skis to 7,800 feet, then switching to running spikes to 11K, then switching to plastics and crampons from 11K up. He carried a down suit, mittens, CB radio and 3 liters of water. He had a small food cache at 14, but was unable to find it when he arrived. Some other climbers gave him a bit of food to carry on. He made the 14 medical camp in 7 hours from base camp.

     

    I have known Chad and Chris for years, and the are both exceptional athletes!

     

    I am elated about this news, and not a bit surprised!

     

    Congratulations, Chad, YOU ARE THE MACHINE!!!!
