On some level alpinists, rock climbers, and mountaineers have always been interested in speed … the "Nose" in a day, some nordwand in a day, or an 8000m peak in a day! Well now we are talking about the Nose and North Face of the Matterhorn in under two hours, and Manaslu in under ten hours!
Not sure how I feel about it - these guys have impressive engines - but I know these type of challenges are not going away, anytime soon. So, an interview well worth reading.
