Don't you wish that a certain person from a state south of washington would go to Mt. Everest to claim the sanctioned record for accomplishing this feat in record time?

Wow. The first time I met Dan Mazur was in Missoula in 81.

He was looking for someone to help him learn how to climb.

I was into the Bitterroot crags at the time and offered to take him along but he said he was more interested in snow and ice. I recommended that he move to WA or CO.

The next time I met him was in Seattle at his K2 slide show. He and another guy had climbed it unroped and bivied way up there on the night after summitting.

This guy was really into snow and ice.
