lummox Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 i dont know how else to explain their recent smoking times up mt everest/sangamartha/blahblah. Lhakpa Gelu ascended in 10hrs56minutes --i think thats from base camp at 17k too. no word on witnesses or other verification tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Does Lakhpa Gelu have a dog and GPS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyFlattlander Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Yeah, that is amazing. I just saw it on the local news here in Chicago. Everestnews.com confirms the record as reported to the ministry. He headed straight back to BC and made the round trip in 17:20. Figure 20 minutes on the summit. Then that is 7 hours for the trip down. He must have helium in his pack and kevlar pants for glissading down the Lhotse face. That is one crazy and fit Mo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
