I wonder what he's planning next.

Have you heard of alpine speed climbing in the Pacific Northwest, like Rainier, Shasta, Hood, Adams, maybe others? Lots of information and press to sift through - but, it boils down to a great alpine speed climber in Oregon, Dan Howitt set OFFICIAL records on EACH peak in 2003-4, amazing! Official, that's right, timed by people like Oregon Peak Adventures, Climb Max Mountaineering, Oregon Army National Guard and on and on. Howitt's times are amazing, 1:56min official ascent of Hood from the parking lot at Timberline Lodge! Done with a dog, that would slow you down tons! Sub 5hr ascent of Rainier! From the parking lot, 9+ miles 9000+ feet vertical to the summit! Beats the prior record of Jim Whittaker (Everest Legend) by 20 minutes, Jim's was OFFICIAL too! Awesome guys! Timed by Climb Max people, Jacob Kamermeyer, Brogan Adams, I've met both. I'd like to hear more about how Howitt set these amazing feats, courage and endurance! No one has come close to these times, and no one has ever even tried doing officially timed records! Thought I’d post this on my favorite sites.
