Denali speed record

[TDawg]

Sub 12 hrs up and back. Guy must be in some shape! Anyone heard of him? http://www.alpinist.com/doc/web14s/newsflash-jornet-denali-speed-record

Edit: Read up and found he has records on Mt. Blanc and Matterhorn.

Yup. He's well known in the "endurance world."

Ya know... I always knew Denali could be done way faster than the usual ~2 weeks +/-, but - even with a tiny pack - 11:40??!!

Killian Jornet just broke the Hardrock 100 record by a whopping 42 minutes, finishing in 22:41. He was quoted as saying Denali was good training for Hardrock. For those unfamiliar, HRH is a 100-mile loop course through Colorado's San Juan Mountains.
