mtn_mouse Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 "Austrian mountaineer Christian Stangl has claimed a new speed record for climbing 18,506-foot Mt. Elbrus, Europe’s highest peak. Stangl raced up the mountain in 5 hours 18 minutes, starting from the Azau ski area at 7,150 feet—that’s more than 2,100 vertical feet an hour, the first two-thirds on skis and the rest with crampons. " OK, but without an accompanying yellow lab, how can this be taken seriously? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
