Amar_Andalkar Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Here's a much better article on the record, which also correctly has his name as "Justin": http://www.thenewstribune.com/news/local/story/410659.html Thanks to near-perfect conditions, a Pierce County man now holds the unofficial record for speed-climbing Mount Rainier. Justin Merle took 4 hours, 49 minutes, 35 seconds Wednesday to go from Paradise to the 14,411-foot summit and back down again. That beats the previous record of four hours, 59 minutes, one second set in 2004 by Chad Kellogg, which also was not officially timed.

musky333 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Unbelievable. Also worth mentioning is Craig Van Hoy's round trip two decades back of 5 1/2 hours wearing mountain boots and carrying a 30 pound pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
