There are plenty of challenges out there I suppose.kungfujedihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00724706652959523509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21096663.post-44622772709548381292009-09-09T06:32:35.651-05:002009-09-09T06:32:35.651-05:00Really beautiful story, but what happens when he m...Really beautiful story, but what happens when he manages to tackle those mountains?

What an inspiration!
Mountaineering'...Fantastic! What an inspiration!<br />Mountaineering's history is filled with the "firsts" of this and that, but hidden behind many "firsts" is the teamwork that's involved. If you can't trust your team members with your life (and nowadays competition can be fierce), then going solo may be preferable.<br /><br />Breaking a record is great, but the real challenge is within ourselves. I've summited (what some would consider) "itty bitty" mountains in my life. But to me those summits were life changing. It changed my perspective and outlook on life, and I gained a deeper knowledge of myself. It's a gift no one can take from me and no one can challenge. <br /><br />It also gave me an "adventure jones". An incurable desire to discover more about myself and the world. ;)Flatlandernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21096663.post-63147791361073525322009-09-04T08:01:45.684-05:002009-09-04T08:01:45.684-05:00Well said Lou-Phi, and I agree.

It seems like a lot of these adventures revolve around some kind of record these days though. <br /><br />Personally, I'm for adventure for adventures sake! :)kungfujedihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00724706652959523509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21096663.post-48264877413829015362009-09-04T07:12:08.325-05:002009-09-04T07:12:08.325-05:00I think you make a good point Kraig.

Well they'll probably hold the record for a while before someone younger makes it.<br /><br />We've seen recently the youngest sailor's record being beaten twice. The younger they are, the longer they'll last or maybe they'll set a limit no one will want to beat.<br /><br />Personally I'm not keen on records, it involves a challenge between humans and nature. I prefer to find new routes, i could say set a standard. It's just that for a world first you feel better and are proud of the work you've done, as it means you have answered many questions on how to do it.<br /><br />Colin, I'm jealous too in a way as Jordan has certainly seen a lot of nice landscapes at his own age while I climbed my first small mountain when I was 29. And my first and only 7summit's summit is Koscy, too easy you can do it in a wheelchair ! Took me 2h30 to run up and down (before the close of the ski-lift)<br /><br />But as you know, it's up only to us to do things, taking control of our lives and making choices and some sacrifices.LP Lonckehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04368796747672512852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21096663.post-40909354545356468222009-09-03T14:15:13.517-05:002009-09-03T14:15:13.517-05:00He has done so much yet still so young!
