Ueli Steck, 35, one of the world's top alpinists and speed climbers, has summitted Everest with 21-year-old Tenzing Sherpa, without supplemental oxygen. Steck and Tenzing completed the climb on the 18th, arriving from the South Col. Last year, Steck, stricken with cold feet and climbing without supplemental oxygen, turned back just 300 feet short of the summit. For a feature on Steck, see the latest issue of Rock and Ice, No. 203, now arriving on newsstands.
So far this season, 168 climbers have succeeded on Everest and four have died, the latest death being that of Dr. Eberhard Schaaf of Germany at the south summit, on May 19 due to high altitude cerebral edema.

It was the first time "Thunder" had made it to the top of an outdoor climb, and he did it twice, battling the voices in his head from the ground up without ever backing down. "Rookie" led another climb after having not led in several

Yo… Perfect weather so far this season here in the Valley. You had better make some plans and get your sorry butts out here. The Cap is seeing some increased action but can accommodate a lot more climbers.
That’s right …. I’m talkin to you Puke… listen up… big things happening these days and you want to be here at the scene so you can talk shit when you get geezed out like I am. So be here or you will be there!
