Charlie Wittmack plans a new slant on climbing Everest, by completing a triathlon that is being publicised as the possibly the toughest human endurance event yet conceived.
Should we tell him that he still has time to do something serious on grit, in anticipation of the inevitable UKC question, "But what has he done on.."?
In reply to UKC News: bah I did all of that in about 10 minutes, could've done it in 5 but I had to wrestle a lion on the way.

In reply to UKC News: Yes and once he's done it we can eagerly wait for the first two legged blonde haired welsh female to do it and enter the record books. Then surely the first left handed dutchman. A new circus me thinks.
In reply to UKC News: Goran Kropp cycled from Sweden with all his gear in a trailer, climbed the hill solo and without oxygen then cycled home again. Rather an impressive acheivement. This sounds an interesting effort too, though I'm guessing it's not entirely self supported like Kropp. Swimming, pulling all your high altitude gear in a dingy behind you would be a bit tiresome.

Or a three legged hairy manx woman even with thighs like Mark Cavendish!
Yes, hard to beat Goran Kopp's effort. Altough he didn't do the swin, that seems considerably more impressive, seeing as he cycled there and back taking all his own kit with him.
