Extreme Climbing? It's called Mountaineering. If he's going for a quick assault on the summit, it's alpine-stylé. |

everyone, it's alpine style mountaineering!! |
||||||||
|

Well, six days is too long for an alpine-style climb, so it looks like it's simply a solo climb. |
||||||||
|

|
|
yes, he's climbing alone..apperantly he's got a better chance that way because there's bad weather and those seracs are coming down heavily.. |

I wish him all the luck in your body. |

Guys like that rock. There was this guy they always showed on ''extreme'' TV, Real TV and Max X, stuff like that, a guy that climbed mountains with no harnasses or anything, and he wasn't just hiking, he was climbing up the sheerest of cliffs with his bare hands. Made me nauseous just to watch the clips. Naturally he died a few years when he fell off a cliff. Hey look, (quick google search, wish I could remember the other guy's name, he's an ''extreme sports'' legend, anyone know him?) |

What's the chance it's a hoax......... he hides on the mountain for a week or so, then pop up at base-camp and says he climbed it "solo"e.g no witnesses |

Check out the link in the first post........ This guys in trouble...... stuck at 5900m, can't move up, can't get down............ his team is trying to sort out a helicopter rescue... "Tomaž Humar's expedition to Nanga Parbat would like to put a plead for a helicopter team, which would be prepared to take up the rescue Tomaž from the face." I think Tomaž is in the shit........ or it's a hoax....... Time will tell..................... |

i thought it was those guys who climb building without security, see thats extreme climbing. |
||||||||
|

|
|
right..it take them an hour or less..this guy goes 5 km uphill when avalanches and seracs are coming down heavily. he takes supplies for about two weeks time with him, he can barely breathe because of the altitude and he musn't take too long sleeps (if any at all) because he might freeze..he won a climbing prize that equals olimpic medal so that must mean something.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
... that he takes drugs and should be stripped of his climbing prize? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't think taking drugs would be such a good idea in sport he's in. |

Sorry Goran, I was taking the mick out of the Olympics - not making a serious point about 'extreme climbing'. |
||||||||

my friend recently came back from a climbing trip in france, says he fell off over 50m. I believe him cos he's a complete nutcase over mountaineering, a bit like me and kayaking. |
