Runner Steve Birkinshaw beats Wainwright peaks record

Post by John Paul »

Found this article on BBC and thought it was pretty cool in light of what Andrew is doing with the 14ers. Dude just took down a 27 year old peak bagging record by climbing 214 peaks covering 320 miles and gaining 118,000' in 6 days 13 hours. That's averaging around 50 miles/day, 18,000' in gain and 33 peaks. Way to go Steve!

Now back to Andrew's thread :)
