Fat Boab Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 In a line, one thing that should be self-evident, but perhaps isn't...Everesting is not ascending the cumulative height of 8848m; it's ascending and descending that cumulative height. So if you want to 'Everest' in 9 hours say, your climbing VAM can't be 8848/9=983.1 m per h. Unless you can descend instantaneously of course.
Pure Savage Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 Why not do the first double Everest in SA then?
Duane_Bosch Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 I hiked up Lions Head a few weeks ago. That was easy. Using this okes logic I could therefore easily do the 7 summits.

Duane_Bosch Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 You could probably climb EverestAll you have to do is put one foot in front of the other. But I'm an all or nothing guy and doing it in world record time is #notgonnafuckinhappen so I'm not gonna bother.

Get your priorities straight man!

shaper Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 I wasn't being serious. That looks mental.Me neither and is not just social media hype as was done last year as well.... I maybe will go down and watch

Mudsimus Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 Completing an Everest is not that hard with the right gearing.Oh great. I'll be doing one this afternoon then.
Squier Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 Oh great. I'll be doing one this afternoon then.Perhaps I'll join you. I'm feeling a bit under the weather but seeing it's not that hard it's probably better to join you for the Everest than those intervals on the IDT. I'll bring some soya hot dogs.
avatar Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 just be careful, because "something is going to go wrong"
Ozzie NL Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 Why not do the first double Everest in SA then?Has that not been done in SA yet? Know a couple of local HRS members who could get very excited about that PS did see that some fruitbat did a tripple
