Everesting World Record Update 2

[Dirkitech]

So I'd like to understand one aspect of this thread, namely the apparent multiple suggestions that the OP should just get out there and get on with his challenge without publicising it before hand? Is this general consensus? If so, why?

this ^^^

 

You in the mood for a Friday fight?

had me thinking this ^^^

I was going to answer your question with a youtube video he put up.

I have no words. Surely this is a spoof account. He can’t be taking himself seriously.

[Let's Ride]

Had a good laugh.

Love the way he calls this an ever eating world record update, as if he somehow has some claim to that title. He hasn’t even managed more than half an attempt at an Everest, let alone the world record. What a prick.

There once was a boy name van Zweel,

Whose Everest was the real deal,

To make vegans famous,

Decided to shame us,

And showed us his bananas peel.

 

(And no, grammar nazis there's no apostrophe...)

My boy is a ginger, so you can shove that comment right up your jacksy

yea I don't always get it...I constantly rag on my ginger friends...telling them they have no souls or are genetically inferior etc and they take it in their stride and dish it back just fine....just silly boy banter lol. 

 

PS, at least they all turn out to be pro sportsmen who date supermodels. Why they choose sports that have them exposed to the African sun the whole day is beyond my comprehension though

Hi chaps I am admitting to temporary deafeat for this record attempt. I tried again today solo unsupported and only got to about 4800m of climbing at pace. I have come across as arrogant and for that I apologize because I don't identify as arrogant. I was simply confident I could do it but misjudged the effort. My advice for anyone who wants to set their personal best time for an Everesting is to go to Melbourne Australia and do Upper Terry's climb that Tobias did for his world record. Thanks for all the banter, it has been good. That's all for now folks.

FFS - in the same paragraph you say you aren't arrogant and then go on to once again blame the climb for your inability to get even remotely close to the record. You aren't close because you aren't good enough! Simple... If you failed after 7000m then you might get away with saying that but you only got half way. You can't break the world record marathon time by running a half marathon quickly!

 

I am sure you are a  good cyclist - no way I could climb as fast as you have - but you have a lot of work to do if you are going to break any records.

you may think you don't..but you are. Actually, maybe not arrogant...more of a w@nker. Your posts, your videos all point to that.

 

maybe save a bit of face and actually do an everest.

You may not believe what I have to say but the numbers don't lie. On the Everesting calculator it shows that I need to ride at 46 watts more on average to equal world record pace for my chosen climb. The climb you choose makes a massive difference. I've found the calculator to be pretty accurate in terms of real world data too. Toby did his attempt in around 8h23m but his gps was under reading the elevation on the day. Have a look at the images I've attached.

 

I knew that I was going to have a disadvantage from the beginning but it was worth a shot anyway. You are right I'm not good enough to do it on this climb.

Perhaps rather than looking exclusively at numbers and hoping they will come true over an extended period, note that Mr Toby did two full Everests a year in advance starting at 12 hours, then 9 hours, both in one month, and then a year later set the record.
