Speed Climbing



Some may call it daring, I think it's insane. Whatever it's called, it's an impressive feat.

From Kottke...
The first ascent of the north face of Eiger, a mountain in the Swiss Alps (13,025 feet tall), happened in 1938 and took three days. Watch as Ueli Steck climbs it in 2 hours, 47 minutes, and 33 seconds.
