G-spotter Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) Five bivies on a summer ascent of Slesse (Greenwood/Howes 87) is probably what 8a.nu would call "some kind of world record" Edited November 2, 2013 by G-spotter Quote
keenwesh Posted November 2, 2013 Author Posted November 2, 2013 I couldn't help but get nauseous reading your post. This kind of chest beating is what makes climbing not fun. Ya, I've done some myself, some justifiably and some not. Recently I climbed snow creek wall, in fact in september, and took like 10 hours because I am out of shape a bit and had to do all the leading. But I've climbed it like 6 times so who cares how fast I do it? It's about the experience. When I read your guys' obituary I am not going to be surprised. With that, I am going to pack up my gear for a solo in the enchantments. I'm sorry, aren't you summitchaser CJB from the days of yore? I guess I'll just leave it at that... So records are as follows: Olympus C2C: 11:06 Backbone: 1:53, C2C time? N ridge Stuart: 5 hours C2C? Quote

JasonG Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Probably the fastest I've gone in the mountains are Direct East Buttress in around 3 hours, and NE Buttress of Slesse with Jens Klubberud, which was very fast climbing between the both of us. I can verify that Alex and Jens were going fast on Slesse! They blew by us on the upper pitches, simuling everything, while we were happily pitching it out. It was cool to watch. Quote
JasonG Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 What was the time on yer enchantments solo CJB? Quote
denalidave Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 What was the time on yer enchantments solo CJB? It's prolly sub 5 hours but he would never chest beat bout it. Quote
olyclimber Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 I'll just leave this here. Amateurs, this guy has FAs at Mt Si and Index, not to mention the dry tooling stuff. don't mess with him. I do seriously wonder that type of complex this is. It's an interesting study for sure. FYI, I'm pretty sure the middle guy is Layton. Quote
Pete_H Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 Ha. You long ago lost your standing to call anyone out for chestbeating. What's nauseating is your phony self-righteousness, especially when accusing Plotz, one of the most modest bad-asses around, of self-promotion. You should just shut up. Quote
keenwesh Posted November 3, 2013 Author Posted November 3, 2013 is there any known compiler of Washington speed records? if there isn't we can go on bashing summitchaser, I just want to make sure there isn't a chance of a on topic thread before it gets moved to spray. Quote

ivan Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 i wonder why chicks don't get all gaga over speed records? seems they like it when a fella takes his sweet time getting a job done? strange. Quote
rob Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 i wonder why chicks don't get all gaga over speed records? seems they like it when a fella takes his sweet time getting a job done? strange. It's not how fast you are, it's how many laps you can do. No one likes a slog. Quote
kevino Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 JasonG- didn't keep track. "Quit posturing at the weekly parties. Your high pulse rate, your 5.12s and quick time on the Slickrock Trail don't mean shit to anybody else. These numbers are the measuring sticks of your own progress; show, don't tell. Don't react to the itch with a scratch. Instead, learn it. Honor the necessity of both the itch and the scratch." -Twight Quote
Raindawg Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 I have nothing to meaningful to contribute. Quote
keenwesh Posted November 22, 2013 Author Posted November 22, 2013 I know a couple guys who hold superhuman speed records, and they appear to be human (at least when I've been climbing with them, I do a double take when I read about the times they've put up though). There have to be some crazy times posted for the routes I've listed above. Post up. What's that record for liberty crack? W ridge prussik. Hell, midway on castle rock! Quote
