mtn_mouse Posted May 7, 2006 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

EWolfe Posted May 7, 2006 Author Posted May 7, 2006 Howsitt going Gene? I suppose some defamatory blogging will be forthcoming because of this climb. After all, there were no independent third party timers... Quote
